Sea what defines you

A river runs through it; a river runs to it.

The Sea of Galilee in the middle east is a body of water that receives water from several sources, and passes it on through. The Dead Sea receives the same water from the Sea of Galilee, and just collects and hoards everything it gets, never passes any on through. The direct result of these two very different bodies of water that are fed by the same source is that the Sea of Galilee is vibrant with life, water sports, destination resorts. It attracts a lot of activity. The complete opposite is the Dead Sea. Even though it gets water from the same source, it never passes on the wealth so to speak. It's stagnant. It is 10 times saltier and than any other ocean or sea, and full of minerals. Drink it though, and you will die. It's toxic. Because it is so salty and full of minerals, one can easily float. Stay in too long though, and it will literally suck the life out of you by osmosis.

When we are blessed (and we truly are!) How do we respond with the resources given to us? Pause and take inventory of your blessings, then allow those same blessings to flow through you to others. Choose to be a sea of life rather than a one who takes and sucks the life out of others.
