An Overflowing Vessel
Would you rather be a conduit or an overflowing vessel?
A conduit, something through which something flows.
An overflowing vessel, something which is utterly filled to overflowing.
Both can spread God's love, but I think the blessings of grace, of hope, and of love have filled me to overflowing. Being a vessel of his grace, I do not try to hold fast to his blessings. I can let them freely flow out, over, and through me, all the way to you.
And I find that, as I let them flow beyond me, his blessings continue to flow and to fill me, creating an overflowing vessel of his grace.
