Cut back or cut off?

Good morning everyone!! A day without praising JESUS is a day without Son shine. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

Jesus is teaching about the vine and the branches. John 15: 1,2 "I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more."

Christ is the vine, and God is the gardener who cares for the branches to make them fruitful. The branches are all those who claim to be followers of Christ.

The fruitful branches are true believers who, by their living union with Christ, produce much fruit. But those who become unproductive - those who turn back from following Christ after making a superficial commitment - will be separated from the vine. Unproductive followers are as good as dead and will be cut off and tossed aside.

Take a moment, reflect your spiritual life, are you being pruned, so you may produce more? Or, are you being cut off, dead, no spiritual life? The choice is easy, salvation is easy, sharing it takes wisdom and knowledge from God. Take time today, this morning, and ask God to lead you in all you do. Let go, let God! Thank you for reading. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
