29 September 2010 - John 15:1-4

Verse one says "I am the true vine"
The gardener is the Father of mine
"He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit"
Those that do bear fruit, he prunes to a shoot
In that way, more fruitful will be the branch
So God can use us carte blanche
Jesus said "remain in me and I will remain in you"
For to bear fruit, with Jesus all we must do

The analogy of the branches and the vine
Is a particular favorite of mine
I try to keep the picture in my head
Especially when my plans seem dead
Setbacks may be God's way of saying
"That's not the way, keep on praying"
