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.
 John 15:1

I Am the vine in which you abide,
I Am the True Vine--
The Living Way--
The Truth and The Life!

I breathe and life is formed.
I declare and it comes to pass.
I speak & the earth trembles at My Word.
I create the heights & depths of your life.

I form the mountains you must climb
And the valleys you must cross.
The sun, the moon and all creation give Me honor.
I give birth to opportunities and set them before you.

I allow trials & tribulation--
The north as well as the south wind I blow.
Though you are often wearied by My hand upon you,
Yet you endure--yet you progress--
Yet you faithfully place one foot in front of the other.

Yes, child, I have seen your pain, tears,
And thoughts in the midst of your trials.
Also, I Am aware of the frustration born
Out of your desire to know Me.
I have surely tested your commitment
And the strength of your heart.

You have pressed through many barriers
In your pursuit of Me,
And you have fought a good fight.
Believe Me, My child, the mountain does have a peak
And the valley a bottom.

I am lovingly leading you into green pastures
And rivers of living water--waters to swim in.
Remain in Me!  I Am the True Vine.
And remember: My eye is always upon My sparrow!
