Staying Connected with God.

So the last post I made talked about the metaphor with the grape vines. I didn't want it getting to be too long so I left off a part that I really want to post. God wants us to stay connected to him. That is why he says he takes our burdens so we won't be so weighed down like cutting back a grape vine. If something happens and we don't let him take our burdens we can lose our close connection with God. That would relate to if the branch was to break off the vine. Now a farmer can make a cut in the actual vine and try to reconnect the branch. We can always do this with God. The farmer makes the cut in the vine so the sap can flow back through the branch and once again bear fruit. Jesus was nailed on a cross and he shed his blood so that all of us could live in enternity with God. The blood flowed from his side just like the sap flows through the branch. His blood was shed so that all of us would have a chance to tell everyone we know about Jesus. HE loves us so much. He died willingly for us!!! That is more than anyone has and ever will do for you. The only way I know to sum all this up is with this verse. This should be everyones perfect valentine.

For God so loved the world
         that he gave
             his only
            begotten
                  son
                     that whosoever
       believeth in him
          should not perish
       but have everlasting life.
                                        John 3:16


Thanks for reading!
