“You know how when meat is overdone it gets tough and hard to chew ?
Well that is why our meat must be seasoned with salt and other marinades and it must be cooked without OVERCOOKING.
What is overcooking ?
It is when you go on and on without getting feedback, or allowing what you’ve said to SINK IN.  That makes it HARD to chew on !
Meat is something you can’t eat too much of at a time. 
You serve it up with other things like mashed potatoes and salad so that it’s not too heavy a meal !   Just as in the natural - so it is in the spiritual.
Take just a bit of the meat and mix with a other principles that are easier to get down. Portions of LOVE and MY KINDNESS.

This is why some have not been able to stay in the place of receiving or run away from My servants.  Just like too much roaring of a lion intimidates the prey.   I am the Lion of Judah, but I also PURRRRRRR.   Just as I don’t do that to you - I also serve you tender loving care to coax you into MY ARMS, where you know how much I love you, and that way you will be more willing to do anything  for Me , because you know how much I love you.

Salt SOFTENS the MEAT so it isn’t too tough before cooking and if you mash it into the meat with the meat softener/hammer, it is even more effective, and it gives a wonderful taste to the meat !

Thus, being the SALT of the earth is not only about some things spoken of by others, but being an EXAMPLE of MY LOVE, and LIVING OUT WHAT you preach so that others are CONVINCED of your sincerity !  Just as the early believers shared everything they had with those who had not, I want you my beloveds to do the same !  Love is not just expressions of the mouth, but action coupled with caring, that shows you are willing to lay down your lives for your friends.”

Matt 5:13-16 AMP   You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men.  14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.  16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.
