Two Kids and a Big Ol' Vine

When I was a kid I loved to swing on vines in the woods with my best friend, Kirk.

We would wander out into the woods next to his house, find a vine and start swinging.

The best ones were the ones closest to a ravine. Swinging way out over the ravine...watching our lives pass before our young lives...praying that the vine would hold and not fling us into sticker bushes, rocks and god only knows what.

The trust of kids. Trusting in the vine.

I thought of those experiences this morning as I was meditating on this verse from the Bible.

"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit: for without Me you can do nothing." John 15:5

If you are abiding in Him, God gives you the desires of your heart. You can only receive what comes through the vine. If your delight is right, your desire will also be right. If your delight is wrong, your desire will be wrong.

Your success will not come from your rules, your religion, your rituals, or your regimen. Your success will come because of your relationship to the vine.

Abide in the Vine.

Trust in the Divine.

The greater your relationship, the greater your results.

Kirk would be proud.

Blessings,
Frank
