first sorry for missing yesterday's post, now on to John 15.1 and 2, I am the true vine and my father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch that bears no fruit, while every branch that does he prunes so that it is more fruitful. The lord is so powerful and amazing that he can groom us to be more Christ like while triming away the areas that keep us from being our best. Lord I pray that each of us  receive the discernment to be able to understand and recognize the areas within ourselves that need to be cut away and that you bless us by helping us produce more fruit. In Jesus name Amen
