John 15:1, 2, 5
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful. I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.”
😇 The Christian life is never static. God is constantly molding (pruning) us to make us even more effective for Him. Discomfort may not be the result of our misbehavior, it may be the result of God trimming away lifeless parts. Most often, we tend to believe we’re pretty good people. The truth is, we aren’t…whatever good flows out from us is the result of our relationship with Jesus. The closer we are to Him, the greater His goodness is revealed. This explains why the world is so chaotic; Jesus is completely marginalized.
No Jesus, no peace
Know Jesus, know peace
🙏🏼 Lord, Lord, create in me a pure heart and mind so my life will be valuable for your kingdom. Give me humility to accept your pruning when my life lacks the fruit you desire. don’t let my heart and mind wander today. Keep me close to you so my life will be fruitful for you. Amen.
