"If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

"This is my command:
Love each other."
John 15



God's love is like no other love. Not even like the love that is between husband and wife or mother and child. God's life is agape love. It is love that pours out from God to us even when we don't deserve it. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that can stand between God and his love for us. God tells us that if we remain in that love, then we can bear much fruit for him...lasting fruit. Then the chain of love is not broken, but continues on forever and forever. God breaks into our lives in moments that we don't expect it or understand it with that love. He never withholds it.



Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing." Ezekiel 47:12



Gods love flows into us healing us, sustaining us, and filling us with his grace so that we can indeed be trees to others when they need life and love poured into them. God's love never changes. It stands like that tree and refreshes us, renews us, and flows from us onto and into the world. The world is constantly in motion with that love, and nothing will stop it. Thanks be to God.
