“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15:5NLT
Please eat at my banquet table, dear one. Notice the endless choices of foods before you.
Smell the aromas of roasted meat and fresh vegetables. Taste the sweet fruits.
Sit with Me at my bountiful feast. Jubilant music swells throughout My massive hall. Joyful flames dance in torches and fireplaces. Children clap their hands as they whirl with zealous energy, celebrating My provisions.
Men shout and women sing.
Join in, dear one. Enter my feast. I will be your host.
Allow Me to set this banqueting table before you amidst the darkness, among the loss and pain.
In Me is life and healing and joy. You will find restoration as you trust My hand of plenty.
Join Me, My love.
A Prayer
Heavenly Father, at times we focus on our own pain and forget Your greatness. Help us to turn our eyes in gratitude to Your vast provision and the beauty of Your creation. We wish to walk in joy, even as we walk in sorrow. For You promise protection and presence even in the valley of the shadow of death. You promise to be with us. Open our eyes to Your presence today. Amen.
