I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can’t produce a thing.  (John 15:5  THE MESSAGE)

Dear God,
When I spend time with you
I grow
Like a vine
Heavy with fruit
Fertilized with your Spirit
Blip!

Seeds drop
To the ground
Like rain
And spring up

not just in me
But in those
Around me
So I choose
To cling to you

because
the more I
grow, the more
that others see
you inside of me

Wanna pray?

God, I choose to KNOW you because I want a life filled with spiritual fruit. When I spend time with you, it impacts not only my life, but shows others what faith can be. I want more than just hanging on a pew. I want you!
