Stay connected to the Vine

What are you connected to? Who are you connected to? Does connection matter? Yes, it does!

In order to get internet, we must be connected to WiFi. In order for our cell phones to be charged, we must connect them to a charger and plug it up to receive some power. 

In that, connection matters!

When I think about spiritual connection, I think about God our power source! I think about His Son Jesus.

I think about his precious Holy Spirit. 

All three are  joined together as one!! The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit!! What a powerful connection!!!

I like working in the yard, and oftentimes I notice when a strong wind and rain comes. Afterward, there are branches lying in the yard…after a couple of days later, the green leaves on the branches have withered and dried up because there was no connection. 

The trees give nourishment, and if the branches are disconnected  from the tree there’s no connection!

The closeness of the relationship with ourselves and Jesus is like the branch and tree.

It’s the same way in our spiritual lives. If there’s no connection with Jesus, we will withered away spiritually with no hope! But being connected to the true vine brings salvation, hope, peace, joy, and so much more. 

Being connected to God through His Son Jesus Christ brings  much fruit and blessings in our lives. 

There’s hope for everyone who accepts Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior. 

John 15: I-5 says

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 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.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 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.

5 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.

~Stay Connected To The Vine~

Prayer: Father, we thank you for your grace and mercy.  Search our hearts and remove anything that’s not like you. Help us to stay connected to you.  In Jesus’ Name Amen

Be Encouraged!

All Glory Goes To God.
