if you remain in me…

a plea, a prayer, a promise
breathed from the lips of Jesus
a teaching moment for us
that we would abide
that we would remain in Christ
following the Spirit’s calling
staying connected, fed
abiding in the vine

when not connected

we wither, we die
our lives without meaning
when not connected
abiding in the vine
our lives have meaning
a hope, a future
abiding in Jesus
fed by the vine
