I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. John 15:1
Hudson Taylor has some lovely thoughts on this verse. He points out
the following: “The fi rst two words, ‘I am’ give us the key to the whole
secret of fruitfulness. Not what we are, but what He is; not what we
do, but what His life works in and through us is the question of the
moment. Hosea 14:8 says, ‘How is thy fruit found?’ It is found in and
through Him. He is the true fruit bearer.” May His fruitfulness flow
through us and bring much blessing out of our lives. —L. Pell
How I praise Thee, precious Saviour,
That Thy love laid hold of me;
Thou hast saved and cleansed and fi lled me
That I might Thy channel be. —Mary Maxwell
