Isaiah 41:13 (NIV) For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand & says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Psalm 121:1-2 I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven & earth. John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me & I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing. — Thru it all we are to depend on God, not self. He takes hold of our hand. He is our Help! We must learn to abide in Him. This is key to understanding what it means to bear fruit! We must remember— apart from Him we can do nothing. Love Mel
