I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:5

 

I have two bell pepper plants growing in a pot. Within one month, I have 2 bell peppers growing. But this process didn’t just happen. I had to plant them in good location to receive adequate son, in healthy soil and keep them watered, the rest was up to the plant to do its thing. In essence, you could say we both worked together to produce bell peppers.

 

The same is true with your relationship with the Lord. He put you in the perfect environment to grow and become more like Him. He provided wisdom in the bible, and has given you His Holy Spirit to help nurture and grow you. The rest is up to you. The question is, are you producing Godly fruit?

 

If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire and they are burned. John 15:6

 

As a child of God, you must nourish you mind and heart with the word of God, stay in communication with Him through prayer and find your purpose in life and pursue it with the help of God. You are not to be just a plant, you are to be fruitful and yield a rich harvest for the Lord.

 

It’s like a partnership, and God is depending on you for the harvest. Ask Him to help you grow and produce. He’s invested His time and effort to plant you where you are, grow in Him and produce a harvest He can say, “well done my good and faithful servant”. God bless!
