Sabbath Quiet: The True Vine For Bewildered Branches

Love Jesus generously. Love him trustfully, without looking back and without fear. Give yourself fully to Jesus, He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your weakness. ~Mother Teresa

The True Vine For Bewildered Branches

I AM the true Vine, and my Father is the Gardener.

He lops off every branch that doesn’t produce. And he prunes those branches that bear fruit for even larger crops.

He has already tended you by pruning you back for greater strength and usefulness by means of the commands I gave you.

Take care to live in me, and let me live in you. For a branch can’t produce fruit when severed from the vine.

Nor can you be fruitful apart from me.

Yes, I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in me and I in them shall produce a large crop of fruit. For apart from me you can’t do a thing.

If anyone separates from me, he is thrown away like a useless branch, withers, and is gathered into a pile with all the others and burned.

But if you stay in me and obey my commands, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted!

My true disciples produce bountiful harvest. This brings great glory to my Father.

John 15:1-8 The Living Bible
