"All that we Christians are called upon to do, all we can do, is to be an open watercourse for the divine love. We do not create any part of it; it would be an arrogant illusion to think we did. We must not blockade it; if we did, we would be the adversaries of God, not His children. We are simply to reflect it, back to Him and out to His world. Our calling is to give it free flow.

That means we are never generous. We never give any gifts. We are merely to be the channel for the good gifts which come in a steady stream from God. He expects us to take the vitality, which he pours into our veins, and the money, which He has given to us in trust, and to see to it that they are spent for the things that are closest to His heart. It is all that simple- and imperative. LORD, KEEP THE CONDUIT THAT LEADS THROUGH ME FROM BEING CLOGGED!"
