A fully functioning culvert lets all the water coming in, pass through quickly—or it will choke up with silt and debris.

Likewise, if we are clean conduits, we let the blessings coming into our life, flow on through immediately to bless others—or else our hearts will increasingly focus on what we keep, and our lives will get clogged with things we don’t need.

A culvert that is choked up is worthless.

A clogged life is a sad sight, without consideration for those we were called to bless.
