Saturday, July 4, 2015 "I am the Branch"

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5

As we observe this 4th of July, also known as Independence Day, I cannot help but be so thankful I am not independent at all but rather completely dependent on my Father in heaven. My life is in His hands, and I trust whatever path He leads me to. He is the vine and I am the branch. I trust in Him, He keeps His promises, and He will never leave me. There is nothing more valuable to me than my relationship with Jesus, and I am proud to declare my dependence on Him for apart from Him, I am nothing.
