“We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20 NIV). Each of us can become Christ’s representatives and channels of His love. He can bless others through us. We can be channels of His blessings. Do you believe the Lord can speak through you? Do believe He can work through you? If you believe that, then are you willing to be His channel of blessing to other people? We will never be faced with the same situation Jesus faced in the Garden of Gethsemane, but we can pray his prayer: “Not my will, but yours be done.” We can really mean the words we sing, “I surrender all.” We can be channels of blessing.

Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is the love of God flowing through you?
Are you telling the lost of the Savior?
Are you ready His service to do?
Refrain:
Make me a channel of blessing today,
Make me a channel of blessing, I pray;
My life possessing, my service blessing,
Make me a channel of blessing today.
Is your life a channel of blessing?
Are you burdened for those that are lost?
Have you urged upon those who are straying
The Savior Who died on the cross?
Refrain
Is your life a channel of blessing?
Is it a daily telling for Him?
Have you spoken the Word of salvation
To those who are dying in sin?
Refrain
We cannot be channels of blessing
If our lives are not free from known sin;
We will barriers be and a hindrance
To those we are trying to win.
Refrain
