Today's Devotion: John 15:8 (New International Version) - This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. It is through our membership in Christ's body that we bear the fruits of our labor. Without Him, we are nothing.
Today's Comments: We are the branches of that vine that is described in John 15. Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches, and it is God the Father, Himself, that is the gardener, clipping off the dead and decayed branches. It is through our relationship with Jesus that we bear fruit in our lives. If we separate ourselves from Him, we become nothing and will become a casualty of the pruning process.
I just received a call from the Headquarters of the Los Angeles Diocese of the Episcopal Church informing me of their formal intention to ordain me as a Vocational Deacon on January 24th of next year, at St. Michael's and All Angels Church in Studio City. I pray that God will find me worthy of this ministry and that I will be blessed with understanding and wisdom to do His will, and that my fruit will glorify Him.
