“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.”
John 15:1-6
LIVING BY FAITH 
Thank you for GOD’s Words to ponder by and humbly submit to, Crissy! I like what JESUS said, that apart from Him, we can’t do anything. He is the only way to to GOD the FATHER. We abide in Him. It reminded me of the song and you have guessed it right. “…fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens LORD with me abide.”
