John 15:5

I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5

I started the Experiencing God Bible study today. I went to Daniels baptism on Sunday, it was a really emotional day, and my motivation for picking up the old bible. Of course becuase of the enormous change that Dan has made in his life. It was amazing to see how humble and honest he was before the congragation when he was doing the traditional baptismal questions. I really admire the Joy he has found in the Lord. It was also emotional becuase I realized how much I miss that traditional sunday church service. I could feel the love of Christ in every inch of that room, they sang with such passion. I have had some bitterness against the church but I really feel like the Lord has released me of that. I felt so overwhelmed with Jesus, the good kind of being overwhelmed:P, I want to fall in love with my Saviour again. I want to live a life that is honoring of him. I want to trust in him.

John 15:5 really sticks out to me, without HIM, I can do nothing! NOTHING! but with Him, I can bear much fruit. So today I am making the choice to remain in Him. I want to stop worrying about my future and trust that God knows whats going on in my life.
