Take a minute to read these two verses. What message do you hear for you?
5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
John 15:5-6

Are you memorizing with us? How is it going so far?
I am definitely pondering a set of words in verse 6 this week…If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch that withers. Looking forward to studying it out and learning how to more deeply abide (dwell) in Him.
I’m looking forward to staying with these verses this week too, AND looking forward to what you’ll glean from them, Dianna. I appreciate how you’ve been sharing what you’re learning; it benefits many of us.
