Strength Of The Vine

The balance between strengths and weaknesses is best achieved when we learn to live out the picture found in John 15 of a branch abiding in the vine. It is from the vine that the branch draws it's life, and because of the vine that the branch bears it's fruit. In the same way, as we learn to abide in the sufficiency of Christ we bear fruit that lasts and has significant impact in life. (Made To Count, by Bob Reccord & Randy Singer, pg 80)

"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. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." (John 15:1-8)
