I am a can opener for Jesus

I am a can opener for Jesus.

When the Lord told me that the other night,  my reaction was probably the same as yours: "uh...wut?" But here's how He laid it out: "I send things to my kids," He said, "to help you do your thing, sort of like cans of stuff. Maybe it's lychees. Maybe it's stew. Maybe it's paint. Whatever it is, you can't get at it until you get through the steel packaging,  or it's useless.  So some if you, I send to crack that open, to release my blessing to the rest of my kuds. You're my can openers. Others I send as spoons, to deliver it to the body of Christ. 
  Now, maybe you're a fancy electric opener,  or a comfy one with nice handles that people can always have close by. Maybe you're one that has a swiss army knife attached to it so you can be an ok can opener but also ok for lots of other things. Which you grow into is your choice. But that's what I made you, and I have a can for you to crack!"
So what are you? Spoon? Can opener? Coffee mug?

Aloha
