Stay joined to me, and I will stay joined to you. Just as a branch cannot produce fruit unless it stays joined to the vine, you cannot produce fruit unless you stay joined to me. ~ John 15:4 (CEV)
Lord, thank you for extending yourself for us. You clear the way through life for us. You keep us connected to you so that we can produce your fruit. I confess that my trust is not whole-hearted. But you still keep me connected. The best thing I can ask in light of your kindness, is to be able to trust you more. I want to be more devoted to you. Don't give up on me -- I'm planning to stay attached to you. Amen.
