Jesus the True Vine
" 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.
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth
as a branch, and is withered; and men
gather them, and cast them into the fire,
and they are burned.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye
shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear
much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
As the Father hath loved me, so have I
loved you: continue ye in my love.
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide
in my love; even as I have kept my Father's
commandments, and abide in his love.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy
might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
This is my commandment, That ye love
one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this, that
a man lay down his life for his friends.
Ye are my friends, if ye do
whatsoever I command you.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the
servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I
have called you friends; for all things that I have
heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,
and ordained you, that ye should go and bring
forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain;
that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in
my name, he may give it you.
These things I command you,
that ye love one another."
~
John 15:1-17

Daily Verse from
Heartlight
[Jesus] said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid." Then
they
were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately
the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
-- John 6:20-21
Thought:
"Jesus comes to his disciples to comfort them in their worst
nightmare - a storm on the sea. He literally tells them, "I Am,
do not be afraid." Two key things are here for us to notice. First,
Jesus uses a name ("I Am") that identifies himself with God who
delivered Moses and the Israelites from Egypt. Second, he uses a
surprisingly frequent command found throughout the Bible: "Don't
be afraid." When we are willing to invite Jesus into our lives during
the middle of our storms and messes, he not only says, "I Am, don't
be afraid!" but he also helps us find our way to our most important
destination, ultimate deliverance."
Prayer:
"O God, the great I Am, you redeemed Israel from Egypt, you
won great victories for David, and you raised Jesus from the dead.
I know you can deliver me from what may come my way. Please
forgive me when I don't act with the boldness that is called for by
this kind of faith and strengthen me to more confidently trust in
your presence. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen."
"For I am persuaded, that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
~
Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may
be able to stand against the wiles of the devil...
...Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye
shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of
the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints;"
~
Ephesians 6:10-11,
16-18 (KJV)
"Happiness is not about what is currently happening in your
outer life... True happiness comes from knowing that God has
already blessed you, and when your faith is connected to those
blessings you will soon see them manifested into your life."
~
Marty Dow
"Gratitude
unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into
enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order,
confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a
home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past,
brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
~ Melody Beattie
"There lies within most of us an innate quality that compels
us to give of ourselves for the good of mankind."
~ Clyde C. Kissinger
