John 15:1 (CSB) "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.

Not me but Jesus. Not my father but our Father in Heaven. So what does that make me? A branch! My job is to make fruit. His job is to give me all the stuff I need to grow and produce fruit. I am to grow from a twig to a sturdy branch. I am to grow from making one grape to having a few branches that are making many bunches of grapes. Jesus supplies us with everything we need to grow. The father helps us by keeping the branches in tip top shape to prudence fruit. (Colossians 2:7, Hebrews 5:11-14)
