Hi Friends,
How do we bloom where we are planted? We make a conscious effort to stay connected with Jesus; The True Vine. Imagine this: you have 2 plants. You put the first plant in a dark room without water, then you place the second plant outside near the sun and water it regularly. The first one dies because it was disconnected from the constant source of light, it needs to survive.
Staying close to Jesus helped us grow in faith, and we continue to blossom into the people he has called us to be. This enables us to produce much “fruit”.
What do I mean by fruit? the fruit of our life is produced when we allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through us, By doing this we are choosing to cooperate with the master gardener in any and every circumstance. Each season in this life yields fruit for God's kingdom, as we continue to keep our focus on him! Some of the most difficult circumstances in this life can be opportunities Of grace and growth, because God uses those times to help us come more and more fruitful.
As we fully rely on God he fills us up, with strength and Joy... With each season, He is our constant companion, Who loves us, Teaches us and walks with us through life. We Can't accomplish eternal life or spiritual growth on our own. Jesus accomplishes these things in us and through us. Apart from him life is mundane and hopeless. Stay connected with Jesus today, and everyday. He is our strength and power source!
"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5
God loves, I love you and you are formed for his use! Catch ya next time on Rebekah's Butterfly Blog!
