Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away. - John 15:2
"I have been redeemed and I love for one thing. As exclusively as the natural branch exists only to bring forth fruit, I too; as exclusively as the heavenly Vine exists to bring forth fruit, I too. As I have been planted by God into Christ, I have wholly given myself to bear the fruit the Vine desires to bring forth." - Murray
As the branch, I have no life of my own. I have no strength on my own. I have no purpose on my own. Only when I am connected to the Vine do I have life, strength, and purpose. Only in Christ do I find that life has meaning. Only in Christ do I find the strength to wade through the day-to-day of life. Only in Christ do I see what my purpose in life truly is.
