I am the vine, ye are the branches. John 15:5
OH 15:5{Why does the sap flow from the vine to the branch? Simply because the branch is joined to the vine. Then the sap flows into it by the very law of its nature. So, being joined to our Lord Jesus by faith, that which is His becomes ours, and flows into us by the very law of our spiritual life. If there were no hindrance, it would indeed flow as a river. Then how earnestly we should seek to have every barrier removed to the inflowing of such a gift. Let it be our prayer that He will clear the way for it, that He will take away all the unbelief, all the self, all the hidden cloggings of the channel. Then He will give a sevenfold blessing: My peace, My joy, My love, at once and always, now and forever; My grace and My strength for all the needs of our pilgrimage; My rest and My glory for all the grand, sweet home-life of eternity with Him.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Savior Jesus Christ,
Who hath blessed us with such blessings all uncounted and unpriced!
Let our high and holy calling, and our strong salvation be,
Theme of never-ending praises, God of sovereign grace, to Thee!
