The word conduit is defined as "a means of transmitting or distributing" something or "a channel through which something is conveyed". Isn't this the very essence of what God wants us to be? A vessel through which His blessings flow.
God is not stingy. He loves to share and multiply. We see this throughout scripture so it doesn' make sense He would want us to receive His blessings only to act like a dam and hold them back. When we receive blessings but don't allow them to flow through us we're stifling the work God wants to do in us, through us and for others.
The blessings God gives us aren't really given to us. They're not ours to keep. Instead, they're entrusted to us. We are meant to be good stewards of them. We're meant to act as a conduit and pass them along to others.
There are many types of blessings God sends our way. The natural one we think of is money. But God's blessings come in many shapes and sizes. If God has blessed us with a strong testimony, we can share it. If it's a strong faith, we can help strengthen a struggling believer. We can offer encouragement to the downtrodden, time to the lonely or comfort to the grieving.
When we allow ourselves to be used as a conduit we have the added blessing of being an extension of God's amazing love and grace. Let's let God's love flow through us and share His blessings with someone else.
