HE IS THE VINE!

HE IS THE VINE!


God SPEAKS to us=
Jesus speaks to us


They tell us that
Jesus is the VINE=and
The FATHER makes
The branches GROW


The branches are us=and
For us=to grow STRONGER
We need to STAY CLOSE
To the VINE


“I am the TRUE VINE
And my Father
Is the VINE GROWER


He takes away
Every branch in me
That does NOT bear fruit........” John 15:1-2


The Father is the GARDENER
And he removes
The dead branches
From a tree


We need to ASK
OURSELVES=what needs PRUNING
In us=
In order
For us to GROW


Is it jealousy?
Is it impatience?
Is it self-righteousness?
WHAT is it in me
That needs pruning?


Dear Lord=please prune us
So that we CAN GROW
And that we CAN BEAR FRUIT


“Dishonest money dwindles away
But whoever gathers money
Little by little
Makes it GROW” Proverbs 13:11


“So neither the one
Who plants
Nor the one
Who waters-
Is anything


But only God
WHO MAKES THINGS GROW” 1 Corinthians 3:7


Yes it is the FATHER
Who makes Jesus
GROW in us


By staying CLOSE
To Jesus
We can BEAR FRUIT


He is the VINE=
And we are the branches


It is UP TO US
To REMAIN in God the Father
So that he
Can prune us


So that the VINE
Can have
His way with us
ALONE=we can do nothing!
HE IS THE VINE!


Let the Father=
Make you grow=and HELP God
By praying daily=
By READING your bible daily


“But GROW in the grace
And knowledge-
Of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ


To him be glory
Both now and forever!=Amen” 2 Peter 3:18


Stay close to the VINE=
The Lord Jesus=and his FATHER
Will GROW FRUIT
Through you


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of GOD=our EVER GROWING FATHER
