Finding Where We Belong
{Jesus said,} "I am the true vine; my Father is the gardener."
-- John 15:1 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus' statement is radical. The vine was a symbol of Israel. Jesus is saying that he is the place God's people will find their life. When people are in Christ, they will find themselves tended and cared for by God himself. This concept is both radical and comforting. Jesus reminds us that God cares for the sparrows, so he surely cares for us. The Father knows the number of hairs on our head. He knows what we need before we ask for it. God is not a God far off, but a God up close and personal. He knows us and will be involved in every aspect of our lives.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy God, LORD Almighty, I am humbled and awed that in your incredible majesty you have also chosen to know me personally. Thank you for working in my life. Conform me to your will. In Jesus' name. Amen.
