Sea of Galilee and Dead Sea

Sea of Galilee and Dead Sea

I am sure you might have heard the old comparison between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. Anyway both the seas have the same source that is River Jordan. 

Galilee is a lake full of life and people around are happy and lots of vegetation is found along the bank of Sea Galilee. It is because it takes in water but also gives it out. 
In contrast nothing lives in the Dead Sea, because with no outflow, the sea remains stagnated. It only receives and does not give out.

Dear friends which sea would like to become? Do you want to be the Sea of Galilee, who not only receives but is willing to share one's talents and resources with others. Remember happiness consists in giving than in receiving. Or do you want be a Dead Sea who only receives and is unwilling to share one's time, thoughts and ideas with others. If so you will be stagnated.


Now let's try to analyze our own lives and see which sea do I represent. Am I Sea of Galilee or Dead Sea? If Dead Sea let's start sharing our talents and time with others.


I am sure you might have come across people who represents either of the Seas in your community, class, offices, schools, clubs and other areas. Whom did you liked most and with whom did you mingled around? I am sure you liked the person who was always ready to give a helping hand and whose presence brought joy, laughter and smiles on the faces of many. 


Even Jesus represents the Sea of Galilee. He was always bringing joy and peace among the people. He gave Himself totally and served  people till His death. He told that He came not to be served but to serve. So which Sea do  you like to be? If Sea of Galilee start sharing your time, resources, ideas and joy with people around you. Give out to others what you have and outflow rather than remaining stagnated and lifeless.


-Let us serve the Lord in gladness.
-It is giving that I receive.
