Abiding in Christ. Walking by faith.

Tag: Matthew 28:18-20

Be fruitful

Be fruitful and multiply. Woven throughout the Word of God.

From the garden of Eden. And the covenant with Abraham. Into the new covenant. The Vine and branches.

The church.

Only one thing teaches me God’s will.

And gets me out of my own preconceived ideas. About what I can and cannot do. Or who I am. Where I need to be.

Only one practice. One way of living and breathing. Teaching me His greater purpose and meaningful plan.

Daily abiding in the Vine, Christ Jesus.

Learning this necessary truth takes time and effort. Surrender.

But sooner or later, I clearly see.

Only He is the root and sustainer. The source of true life and fruitfulness.

The new year approaches.
And we’re looking sideways at the year that was.

2020.
Planned calendar undone.
Change unexpected.
Grief unwanted.

Up close and personal reminders
of all we do not know.
All we cannot see.
