Tim's devotions

"I am the vine; you are the branches.
If a man remains in me and I in him,
he will bear much fruit;
apart from me you can do nothing.

John 15:5

What a beautiful metaphor! Very intimate, connected and true. When we are an extension of the Lord, our lives are complete, allowing God's fruit in our lives. When we are not connected or not in allignment with the Lord, we miss his blessings.

For me to 'remain in Him', I must be diligent with my walk which includes daily devotions, leaning on Him for everything, praying throughout my day, surrounding myself with other Christians and obeying His word.

Lord, you are my 'roots' and without you, I do not stand a chance in this life! For the times I do not seek you, or lean upon you, I ask for your forgiveness, for I do not know what I am doing outside of you. For my remaining days, I choose to seek you for all of my needs, grow in you, with you forever and ever.

Amen!
