Abide

John 15:5, 9-12


I finally got myself back to the Big Church on Sunday morning. It was awesome, wonderful to be back in God's house worshipping with other believers. This scripture was part of the sermon and it really caught my attention. I have read this, heard it preached before, but this time my heart listened. I know this is something we all need, but first off I thot of all my kids and how they have drifted away from a faith that used to be so important to them. I know how easy it is to get caught up in our daily lives which leaves no time to Abide with Him. Since I moved to Louisville, being away from my little church in Vine Grove and the fellowship that was there has contributed to my own faith starting to waver. Not that I ever believed less in the Lord, but was starting to falter and unable draw as near to Him as I needed to be. I knew, but needed to be told that in the place where I have been all these months God is unable to use me, there has been little if any fruit. I've withdrawn so much from life, like something inside me has died, how could I possibly be any good to Him? so, here is my latest page inspired by the Lord Jesus and His Words....ABIDE...to remain with, to stay faithful, steadfast. To dwell with Him...Always. Eternally.

Blessings and hugs,
