Share whatever talents that we have

I went for a talk recently and was reminded again on the need to share what we have been given. Most notably, the talents which God has given us.

Father gave an analogy of the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee. Both receive water from the River Jordan. While the Sea of Galilee is flourishing, the Dead Sea is, as the name implies, dead. There is an abundance of marine life in the Sea of Galilee but nothing survives in the Dead Sea.

The reason for this is that the Sea of Galilee shares the water it receives to the surrounding land while the Dead Sea does not. We too need to share our talents within the community so that we can thrive and flourish like the Sea of Galilee. Else, we would be like the Dead Sea, keeping everything to ourselves and not being able to grow.

So let us open ourselves to others and share what we have been given, that we might grow and flourish into the person that God created us to be.
