Abide in Me

Abide in Me.
Those I love
I prune
to strengthen.

Let Me prune you
to be fruitful.
In trials
you are blessed.

Abide in Me.
Trust Me.
I will provide
your deepest needs.

Be sanctified.
Learn to know Me.
Without Me
you can’t bear fruit.

Abide in Me.
Be rooted
in My grace
love & peace.

I am the vine
rooted in truth.
Be My branch
bear much fruit.

Abide in Me.
Drink My cup.
The cup offered
James & John.

Drink My cup,
in obedience & hope.
Take Me within,
bear My fruit.
(John 15:1-5, Col. 2:6-7)
