It is not the job of the branch to PRODUCE fruit, it is the famer who nurtures the vine and as a consequence the FRUITS are manifested on the BRANCHES. The Vine produces, the branch carries The job of the branch is to remain CONNECTED!!
Abiding means to bear patiently, to endure without yielding or to CONFORM to.
Is life tossing us around? do we feel we’ve lost our “grip” on things?
Are we dependent on friends/work or on our status? Are we producing what is “durable”, what is healthy ?
To thrive and bring fruit needs to come across the JOINING, the seamless connection.
The awareness of God, the joining, does not come through a mental exercise but through a heart experience.
How do I abide?
Get connected to the vine (Jesus) , get connected to a community , get connected to the right people !
