Favorite Bible Verse?
"Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."
-John 15:4-5
It makes life so simple in my eyes. He is my source for every good thing and without him I can do nothing. By abiding in his love and his commandments Jesus says his joy will be in us and that our joy will be full.
