Commitment Building

What I have LEARNED…

What I FEEL with what I have

learned…

that I have learned…

 There are two seas in Palestine.
They are both very different. One is called
the Sea of Galilee. It is a large lake with
clean fresh water from which you can
drink. Fish and people swim in it. It is
surrounded by green fields and gardens.
Many people have built their homes near
to it. Jesus sailed across it many times.
 The other big body of water is
called the Dead Sea, and it really
lives up to its name. Everything
about it is dead. The water is so
salty that you would get sick from
trying to drink it. It has no fish.
Nothing grows along its banks.
No one wants to live anywhere near because
of its unpleasant smell.
The interesting thing about both of
these bodies of water is that the same river
flows into both of them- the Jordan River.
So what makes the difference?
Just this: one receives and gives; the other
receives and keeps.
 The Jordan River flows into the top of
the Sea of Galilee and out the bottom. The
lake used the water and then passes it on
for others to use.
The Jordan River then flows into the
Dead Sea and never gets out again.
The Dead Sea selfishly keeps it only
for itself. This makes it dead.
It gets and never gives.

The Loser sees a problem for every answer.

♦ The Winner says, " It may be difficult but it is possible";

A Loser makes promises.
♦ Winners say, "I must do something";
