D04: The Vine & the branch

Jesus + me = Fruits (Products)

Finally I get to apply some techniques of what I learnt from my PPT 2007 course.

This is my meditation passage for the entire day from John 15:1-5, NKJV

" I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that I may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; without Me you can do nothing."

The vine -- Jesus (Ultimate source of energy, the lifeline that provides nutrients and produces fruits.

The branch -- me.

The branch is nothing and cannot bear fruit on its own. How true it is that sometimes no matter how hard we try, how much effort we put in, sometimes even by our own strength and willpower, things change but it's always shortlived. I don't have to be worried about producing fruits, it's a natural process or outcome when my life is right with Him. Fruits comes naturally with a deep relationship with God.

It's time to return to the source. It's time to set aside my busyness and the 101 things that needs my attention, just at the feet of Jesus, listening to him and abide in him.

I want this connection, deep connection with God, to be rejuvenated, to be alive spiritually in Him daily!

Personal prayer: Be connected and abide in Him every moment. :)
