Father, Jesus taught Your followers that He is the vine and we are the branches. If we remain in Him we will bear much fruit. Fruitfulness in our lives is not automatic nor can it be purchased or inherited since Jesus is the sole source of our fruitfulness. And yet You provide many wholesome examples of those who bear fruit; those in Scripture, throughout history, and even within our own church, community and family. We want to be healthy branches bearing much fruit, especially bearing the fruit of forgiveness, so that we bring glory to You and increase to the kingdom of God. Amen.
