Being vessels of God’s love

I liken our relationship with God to be as vessels of his ever flowing life giving water. The real question is do we allow it to fill us to the brim and then overflow or do we instead allow neglectful rust and sinful holes to allow his precious love to seep away into nothing?

His love is constantly flowing into us but the question is do we willingly receive it? Do we even know it is being poured? Do we purposefully move our vessels out of the way? Do we allow neglect of his love to rust and corrode our vessels away to nothing?

Do we allow holes of sin to perforate and damage it to the point of uselessness? Are we really going to let this life giving water just slip away from us… ?
