"Abide in Me, as I abide in you." I do believe there is a an emptiness in every persons heart that only God can fill. This relationship is very personal and very necessary. I takes courage to understand and explore this. I have seen many people in my life who thought otherwise. They never really find peace until they cultivate this relationship with the vinegrower.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
Winston Churchill
John 15
Jesus the True Vine
15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. 2 He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes[a] to make it bear more fruit. 3 You have already been cleansed[b] by the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. 6 Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
