Conduit

A conduit is a general term for a means of conveying something from one location to another or between persons. Some examples are:
Channels for carrying water or other fluids (such as pipes and aqueducts)
Electrical conduit: A protective cover for cables
An air duct used for heating, ventilating and air-conditioning purposes
We are to be conduits also. We are to be the conduit that gets Christ's love from ourselves to others. This is why it is so important that we begin to take on the mind and heart of Christ. We are to love as Christ loves because we are the conduit for that love. We transfer this love from one location to another location. Paul reminded us:

Sometimes I think I feel as strongly about you as Christ does!
So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover's life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:8-11

What does this mean? I do not think it means that we go around handing out salvation tracks and preaching the Bible everywhere we go. It means that we must live out the truths of scripture, without quoting them all the time. It means that we must love those whom we had previously thought unlovable. It means that we love as Christ loves. It means that when anger wells up inside of us, we "catch" ourselves and change our thoughts to be thoughts of love and humility. It means that person that you encounter everyday at work, home, or school feels the transfer of love from God to them through you. This may be a simple hello, paying for their lunch, listening to them when they are angry or upset, forgiving them and letting go of resentments that you have been holding against them. It is allow people to feel this love and hope that is in you and then they ask you - "Why did you do this? Why do you have such love and hope for others?" Then we are living out the truth of this passage:

Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you're living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy. 1 Peter 3:15 (The Message)

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. 1 Peter 3:15 (New International Version)

Let Christ's love flow through you today. God's love has come to you, now allow it to flow through to others. Do the simple things of love today and let people see that you have love and hope and it actually applies to the way we live everyday.

Namaste'
