John 15:5
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
I memorized this verse when I was a kid. My mom quizzed my brothers and I on a regular basis right before we'd go to bed. It was different verses all the time. This one stuck in my head. I remember thinking even then, "crap, apart from God I can do nothing?" Well, actually I can, it just won't bear fruit. SO basically, I would have been working toward something for no reason since it will have no eternal value if God is not in it.
I made this complicated. But, it's real simple. I have to involve Jesus in my daily journey and watch what He does in my life and others. It just doesn't last if I do it on my own.
I'm gonna ponder this one today.
I'm going to ponder this as well. Thank you for this wonderful reminder, Josh!
