It's True...

 "I am the vine; you are the branches.

 If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; 

apart from me you can do nothing.

John 15:5

It’s true; we could be crushed by the weight of dread and despair

We could be victimized by mind-games hindering meek prayer

We could fall captive to the enemy of happiness

And believe the deceiver who is cold and pitiless

It’s true; sometimes the more we try the more we seem to fail

Futile, the sentimental sigh, where hurried moments hail

From all that lies behind us to all that is waiting still

Where we could let fear bind and blind us or let faith fulfill

It’s true; that He will fit us for whatever He will ask

That His grace is sufficient for the trial, test or task

It’s true, though hope and heartache intricately intertwine

These simply form the branches that are clinging to The Vine

I attended a ladies event at church today where the theme was;

Who am I?

And the answer hopefully is 'that we let I AM define who I am'
We were both encouraged and challenged to seek and trust/believe God,
especially when we feel we can't do what He is asking of us.
