When We Don't Stay Closely Connected....

     Last Friday a man gave us some beautiful flowers from his garden. But a week later, they’re all dried up and rather ugly. That’s what happens when they’re disconnected from their roots.

    The same goes for us. When don’t constantly stay closely connected to God through prayer and His Word, we’ll start to wither and lose the beauty of Christ.

    Stay close to God and God’s glory and beauty will shine through you. 

    “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

    I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” John 15:4-5
