Live Within My Love
Precious one, “I am the Real Vine and my Father is the Farmer. He cuts off every branch of me that doesn’t bear grapes. And every branch that is grape bearing He prunes back so it will bear even more. You have already been pruned back and purified by the message I have spoken. “Live in me. Make your home in Me just as I do in you. In the same way that a branch can’t bear grapes by itself but only by being joined to the vine, you can’t bear fruit unless you are joined with Me. “I am the Vine; you are the branches. When you’re joined with Me and I with you, the relation intimate and natural, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can’t produce a thing. Anyone who separates from Me is deadwood, gathered up and thrown on the bonfire. But if you make yourselves at home with Me and My words are at home in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! This is how My Father shows who he is—when you produce grapes or fruit you are My true disciples, and this brings great glory to My Father. (John 15:1-8)
“I’ve loved you the way My Father has loved Me. Make yourselves at home in My love. If you keep My commands, you’ll remain intimately at home in My love. That’s what I’ve done—kept My Father’s commands and made Myself at home in His love. Live within My love! “I’ve told you about these things for a purpose: that My joy might be your joy, and your joy wholly mature. This is My command: Love one another the way I loved you. This is the very best way to love. Put your life on the line for your friends. You are My friends when you do the things, I command you. I’m no longer calling you servants because servants don’t understand what their master is thinking and planning. No, I’ve named you friends because I’ve let you in on everything I’ve heard from the Father. (John 15:9-15)
Remember, “You didn’t choose Me, remember; I chose you and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won’t spoil. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to Me, He gives you. (John 15:16 Message) I demand that you love each other. You get enough hate from the world, but then it hated Me before it hated you. The world would love you if you belonged to it, but you don’t for I chose you to come out of the world! (John 15:17-19 NLT) Come close to Me! The closer you get to Me the more you will look like Me, and the more you look like Me the more love you will have for others!
