“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing" (John 15:1).

"Thank you, Jesus, for coming into my life! With you I live the abundant life, rich in love and life! Thank you for enabling me to do your will.  I pray that as I abide in you, your light shines brightly through me to all those you place before me.  I know without you I can do nothing of value, Lord.  But with you the harvest is abundant!  Thank you!  In your strong name, Amen.

  2. Awesome Joan. I attended a revival at my church last night and the topic was on the fruits of the Spirit.
    This is one verse he quoted to let us know how the branch depends on the vine to produce fruit. If we cut ourselves off from the Vine, we are also cutting off all means of letting our fruit grow.
    Thanks

  3. I love how when we become connected with Jesus and the Holy Spirit dwells in us, the fruit of the Spirit is manifested in us!
