Text: John 15.1-2
Open your spirit before you approach His word. Open your heart before you approach His presence.
Knowing Him and knowing about Him are two different things. He’s not hiding from us.
He puts things in order by making a statement. He is the vine, He bridges the gap. He can do what we cannot do.
In order to be pruned, you have to be cut. Pruning is not enjoyable. He wants us to be like Him so some things need to be cut away. Covenant requires cutting.
Revelation comes from abiding. He’s pursuing us. He props us up and takes us away. If we’re not fruitful, we’re removed.
What qualifies as a vine? A plant that climbs. Cut leaves wrap around the vine and become strong to bear fruit. We attach ourselves to the one who cannot fail. We are tied in union.
If you change the rules of abiding to being held, you change the definition. When He calls us to abide, He’s calling us back to union with Him.
He is delighted in you. The things you try to achieve are the things He wants to give you.
