THE LIVING GOD #TRUE VINE

Do you have #clinging #vines around you?  Are they a plus or a minus for you?  #Poison ivy is a real problem that I try to eradicate; however, I cultivate my sweet confederate jasmine.  Here in the South we don’t even want to talk about the aggressive Kudzu vine onslaught that overpowers our landscape.      Whether in our soil or our soul, we can have a clinging vine.  We have a choice – eradicate or cultivate.  Jesus speaks about himself in chapter 15 of John, “I AM THE TRUE VINE….ABIDE IN ME, AND I IN YOU.  As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it remains attached to Me to bring forth much fruit- for without Me, you can do nothing.” Is it time for you to weed out and  pull the life choking vines from your life that are keeping you from being productive?  If so, I pray you will spend time nurturing the TRUE VINE who has promised -“I will never leave you or forsake you” Heb.13:5 – John 14:18 “I will not leave you comfortless:  I will come to you …because I live, you shall live also”
