Note: For anyone wondering why there isn't a resurrection post this weekend, please know that we look to the Jewish calendar, rather than the Roman Catholic, one to determine when Resurrection Sunday should be observed. Passover is not until April 22nd, so my resurrection posts will be on the weekend of April 28th. :-)
John 15:1-5 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
The Lord Tends His Garden
The vine of
impatience is overgrown,
The weed of self will is making shown,
Poison leaves of distraction tempting and
fair
Choking fruit of my heart, and leaving spots
bare,
Come and tend Your garden...
Your scripture references are EXACTLY what was shared from yesterday at our fellowship gathering. We go through the Bible chapter by chapter, verse by verse, and the living Word is always speaking truths to our hearts and lives. Appreciate your posts of truth, simplicity, and holding fast to God's Word.
ReplyDeleteLove the hymns. . Being raised " going to church" in the early years of my life, the hymns resonate and confirm Bible Truths even though I wasn't born again til 1970 at age 18. Many years of praising since then!
We rejoice that HE IS ALIVE - EVERY morning- and His mercies are new.
I just discovered that I forgot to post you comment! I'm so sorry.
DeleteI'm glad this was a blessing to you! God's word is so quick and powerful. He truly does speak to our hearts and lives continually.
