the vine


went to church today not in the best of moods... and was wondering why oh why everything seems not so great in my life and yada yada yada. then i was reminded of the fact that God's the vine and I'm the branch. makes sense.

and if i remain in Him, He remains in me and I bear much fruit. revolutionary really. something i know, but then why oh why don't i remain in the vine? and i wonder where the fruit in my life is.
i keep trying to do it myself because i think i can, but He is ultimately the only one who can truly nourish me as I remain totally and completely in Him. I need to stop and spend time in Him. Not just visiting, but remaining, abiding, dwelling. i need to take off my shoes and rest awhile.
