Bearing Fruit

Bearing fruit,
nourishment for others,
for those who are hungry
those who are not in the vine
bearing fruit of the grace
the wonder, the awe
the comfort, security
abiding in the vine

Telling others, leading others
to turn from other ways
to repent, to accept the offer of love
to be made part of the vine,
branches worthy, ready
to bear other fruit,
as they have been blessed
to bring others who are hungry
into the vine
