Hello! Welcome to my blog! I have recorded past journal entries from devotional journaling as well as nature and travel photos. It is my aim to pass on the encouragement of the Lord to other sisters in Christ.

Abide

I hear the Lord say:

Abide means “belonging.” You belong to Me. I am your Keeper and Protector. I dwell in you and you in Me. Our “life sap” intermingles. Our union is permanent. I am the root and the vine; you are the branch. You are grafted in and receive your life-blood from Me. You are an extension of Me as a branch is an extension from a trunk of a tree. Your branch is to bear fruit from the lifeblood I share with you.

‘“I am the vine and you are the branches. Those who stay united with me, and I with them, are the ones who bear much fruit; because apart from me you can’t do a thing. Stay united with me, as I will with you — for just as the branch can’t put forth fruit by itself apart from the vine, so you can’t bear fruit apart from me.’

John 15.4-5  CJB
