Salt Is Akin To God

Salt permeates sea.
God permeates universe.
We cannot see salt,
but know it's presence through taste.
Same way God is felt not seen!

Just as salt can be
taken out  of water through
evaporation
we can perceive God in all
through spiritual scriptures

Scriptures state we are
the salt, the soul, God himself. 
With efforts when we 
extract self from body. We
perceive God in everything

We get salvation
from the cycle of life, we
realise both salt 
and ocean exists within
God. We all are part of god

You are right - they say when a person is good he/she is like the salt of the earth and the earth belongs to God. Also God saw fit to punish Lot's wife and turned her into a pillar of salt when she looked back as Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by God because of the peoples evil ways who lived in these cities. But God spared Lot and his family. He warned Lot to tell his wife, she didn't listen. Great write - good luck. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
