Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me, with Me in him, bears fruit in plenty, for cut off from Me you can do nothing."
John 15:5

I am the whole and the part of the Father's creation. And so it has been from the beginning and will be until the end of time. To man the Father has given the privilege and power to offer his willed and independent love and obedience that he may share the conscious fellowship of Our Being and to become a co-operator in the act of continuous creation. And the point and purpose of life for mankind is to grow into that wholeness and holiness through Our saving, sanctifying life, that he becomes one with Our life and Our love though distinct in the identity and uniqueness which the Father has given him.

To Me the Father has given the joy and the pain of the cleansing, redeeming, progressing, fulfilling and perfecting of every one of His children. Freely I offer and freely must be received My life and My love. From My life in those who welcome and accommodate My Presence comes harvest for the one and many according to the measure of willing and joyful self-giving in love. I am the vine, you are a branch. Grow daily in Me.
