Lighthouse by the sea
Come along with me
Walking by faith, I will keep on climbing.
ABIDE IN ME
John chapter 15
That others may see and know
That Life is in Me.
“If you abide in me, and my
words
Abide in you,
Ye shall ask what ye will
And it shall be done
Unto you.” John 15.7
Jesus knows I needed my life
in Him
If I am to have a living
vital life
And to win others for Christ.
I am only His branch.
He sometimes prunes my life,
and
It seems so painful.
Lord, prune me that I might not just be as
Fruit
More fruit
But
Much fruit.
And that my joy will
remain.
With Him I will have J O
Y
“Apart from me, you can do
nothing.” John 15.5
Jesus
wants my joy to be full.
Therefore I must abide in Him, in
His love, walking close to
Him and not concerned with the
fears of personal loss, possessions, friends and family. My abilities, my expectations are all
gifts from Him to begin with, so I ought to remember that
Forgetting
That which is
Behind me,
Go forward
Pressing onward
To the prize of the
High Calling of God
In Christ
Jesus.

and gave His life for me.

beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lor, are changed into the same
image from glory to glory as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Paul’s
prayer was for Believers – those who are born again – born of the Spirit – to
have F A I T H that Christ may dwell in your hearts by
faith. Ephesians 3.17
It is said that the Albatross can live long periods of time
just over the water, with no land in sight. Amazing.
Yet we can not L I V E without abiding in the Vine, for
Christ said He is the Vine and we are the branches.
