John 14&15

I love you, Lord Jesus, and I keep my eyes on your word. I know that you and the father love me, and that you fill me and dwell with me. I am filled with your Holy Spirit who teaches me what I need to know, and who reminds me of all that you have said to me.

In that way I am filled with peace; divine peace that never passes away. Not peace like the world gives. So, my heart is not troubled, and I am not afraid.

You are the true vine, Lord Jesus, and God, our father, is the vine dresser. I am a branch of the vine. Your word has cleaned me and pruned me so that I will bear the fruit of your Holy Spirit.

I abide in you, Lord Jesus, and you abide in me. In that way I bear much fruit – eternal fruit that lasts and suits the will of our father and glorifies him.
