Secrets of the Vine
I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away;
and every branch that bears fruit He prunes,
that it may bear more fruit.
I am the vine, you are the branches.
He who abides in Me, and I in Him, bears much fruit;
for without Me, you can do nothing.
By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit;
so you will be my disciples.
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you
that you should go and bear fruit,
and that your fruit should remain,
that whatever you ask the Father in My name
He may give you.
"Joy comes from seeing the complete fulfillment of the specific purpose for which I was created and born again, not from succesfullly doing something of my own choosing." - Oswald Chambers
