Without Me…nothing. John 15:5
A life without the fruit of the Spirit testifies to a life without the fellowship of the Son. A fair show of leaves there may be, but without Him, no fruit! Nothing to glorify the Father who loves us. Nothing to magnify the Son who died for us. Nothing to satisfy the needy around us. Nothing to justify the life behind us. May God preserve us from such barreness! —J. B. N.
Must I go and empty-handed,
Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
Not one day of service give Him,
Lay no trophy at His feet?—Charles C. Luther
