He Is The Vine

Friend, He is the vine.

You, friend, are deeply Loved by our Creator.

The One who formed the shooting stars and deep oceans. The One who created the singing birds and the sweet taste of berries.

He was so intentional in everything He created- everything has a purpose.

And only a creator would know what His creation would need to be fulfilled.

It is no wonder that our hearts desire nothing more than His presence.

Jesus says in John 15:5, “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing”.

Friend, as the branches, it is our purpose to produce fruit, but we cannot do it by ourselves. We need Jesus as our anchor- our vine.

When we root our lives in Him, we can experience nourishment and resurrection power.

Many times, however, we cling to temporary worldly support that will not sustain us or give us eternal life.

Only Jesus is the abundant life that can flow through us when we choose to seek Him above all else.

The late Elisabeth Elliot said- the secret of joy is Christ in me- not me in a different set of circumstances.

Friend, whatever you face today, I pray you keep yourself connected to the One who knows what you need.

Our Creator is the only One who can fulfill and cover you with His unexplainable peace.

Cling to Him today.
