Gifts from Above
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)
Yes, I am the vine, you are the branches… apart from Me you can do nothing.—John 15:5 (NLT)
Each one of us is a living branch of this vine! If your energy and effort isn’t spent on deepening your connection with Jesus the Vine, your branches will dry up. Is there something that is getting in the way of maintaining a healthy and strong relationship with Him? Set your mind on letting go of any behaviors, thoughts or fears that separate you from God.
Heavenly Father, You are my Source of Life, the One and Only Vine.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.—Ephesians 6:10 (NIV)
