Channeling Christ's Love

"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." --John 15:5
Faith allows you to open up and be yourself! It is connecting yourself, with spiritual integrity, in a relationship with Jesus Christ. When that happens, you can work wonders in helping other people. Happiness, self-esteem, and self-worth will be natural byproducts!
What is a Christian anyway? A Christian is a mind through which Christ thinks, a heart through which Christ loves, an eye through which Christ looks, a face through which Christ smiles and encourages people, a hand through which Christ touches, and a voice through which Christ offers hope. Can I be a Christian?
You can do it if you are willing to be a conduit.
Recently a friend shared with me, "Your possibility thinking really helps me. I was having real problems with my son. One day I was out in my garden. When I looked at the water pipe, I thought to myself, Christ wants me to be a conduit. He wants to flow through me. I simply have to let Him do it.
"Then," she said, "the phrase hit me: 'I can do it if I will be a con-du-it.'"
That's what a branch is to a tree--a conduit for the sap to flow upward to bear fruit.
That's what an electrical wire is--a conduit for energy to flow from the source to the place of need. That's what you and I are in this life--conduits for Christ carrying love. Through us, Christ can turn on lights in dark minds!

I was pondering what to write this time ...... afterall, one can't run out of praises for the Lord.
