After visiting the guys in Sweetwater today I followed Justin Agerton out to the Boyd for a disposal tutorial.  He was showing me what all you had to do to unclog a pump.  Like many of you know, this isn’t as simple as digging your kids hair out of the sink drain.

After I left I got to thinking about what happens in life when we get clogged up.  In the book of Matthew, chapter 6 vs 14 Jesus says, “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

LET THAT SINK IN…..

Think of it like this.  Me and you.. we are the pipe.  Things are flowing through us all the time.  When someone does something wrong to us it sort of clogs us up inside.  If we aren’t careful we will let it stew and overtime it builds up.  Just like the junk in this filter.  In Justin’s case today, he removed the filter and scraped the junk off in to the trash can and the fluids starting flowing normal again.  Our scraper tool is “forgiveness.”  Forgiveness makes way for our life to start flowing again.

So if you feel clogged up inside, take the seal off, open your heart with honesty about what’s got you clogged up.  FORGIVE whoever caused you this pain and make room for God to flow through you.  CLEAN YOUR FILTER!! You can’t be at your best if your fluids ain’t flowing.  If you don’t unclog the pipe – the pump will burn up, everything will spill out and you will have a mess on your hands that you likely can’t handle… IT WILL COST YOU.
