This morning I had to fix my bathroom sink it was clogged…..

As I saw the problem I immediately got out the plunger and tried it… it had worked in the past… as hard as I tried I only displaced the water all over the counter and didn’t get it any faster down the drain…. Then I decided to get different tools pliers screwdrivers, wrenches and even a bottle of draino this drain was gonna get opened!!! I went for the drain at the bottom of the drain pipe there was a minor blockage there but the water didn’t flow freely.……

Then Jesus spoke and said “I am the adaptor”… you see when my dad and I had replaced this sink we couldn’t just get the sink lined right over the drain pipe.. So we had to put in the adaptor to allow the flow of water to the drain in the city…. God said that Jesus stands in between you and me and you are always connected to me and your prayers and praise get to me but right now I want you to see what is really in between us pull back the adaptor so I can show you.
So I unscrewed the rings and slide the adaptor back I looked up the pipe and it was almost fully clogged, he said this is what I want to do in your life and told me to remove the “junk” . I did it was grosse. But then I could see right through the pipe. That is what God said “I love to do this for you. I want to remove all that stands between us and God
Jesus is always connected to us even with the junk in us, he loves us always no matter what even if that is as far as you get.. But how much does he want to remove that from our lives so we can walk with any barriers.
I looked back at my tools and realized that there are many things God has given us to help our walk but if we don’t use the right method and tools it can become a battle forever.
I realized that all the plunger did was temporarily open the path but it didn’t remove anything. I had to use a different method, and I had yet to find the bigger problem, when I went past the blockage to the drain on the bottom of the drain pipe , I saw something but it wasn’t the real issue.
How often do we do this in our relationships? How often do we get side tracked by looking past the current issues and find a problem but not the one that God is wanting us to deal with? Thankfully I had someone with me that spoke to me, held on to me and showed me just what I needed to do so I could remove the blockage and be on my way.
I want to say that when I went in to fix the clogged drain I was angry. You see I had gone to the bathroom to get ready for church and had noticed the sink wasn’t draining and my wife, whom I’d just spoken with, had neglected to tell me. But it was not her fault.
Yet, I was angry with her, and myself, because I already knew the drain hadn’t been fully working earlier but I had neglected to fix it properly. In the end the junk I had pulled out,which was mainly my wife’s hair, had been a reminder to me of the problems my wife and I have been experiencing in our relationship and that have been “clogging” the path between me and God
