Jesus said,
"I am the vine and My Father
the vinedresser…Every branch
that bears fruit He prunes to make
it bear more fruit. You are pruned
already by means of the word which
I have spoken to you"
John
15:1-3
I am with and in all that is, and
remain there vibrant, dormant or
lifeless according to the disposition
of each child of the Father. The
health and vitality and growth of
each is of loving concern to the
Father and to Me in the Father.
The word I speak is life, and according
to the response of each does the
life prosper or remain static or
die. But response is a contingency
of human existence, so stagnation
and inertia are negative responses
which lead to death unless reversed.
And as the Father's loving word
is spoken in and through Me, giving
life to each child who responds
according to the measure of that
response, so does the dynamic life
course through the group, community
and nation, for as I am enfired
in one so do I reach out to all.
All My beloved children who abide
in My love are continually pruned
for perfection and for service in
the Father's vineyard. Your gift
in and through Me is for the building
up of those in His vineyard who
seek assurance of My risen, active
life and action in the world today
and who look for illumination and
guidance in the way. Rejoice in
the word that I give.
I am.
