Daily Devotion for September 16

INTRO

This week we are talking about: BONDING (there is probably a better word for this, think it from your own perspective).

SITUATION

The purpose of life is RELATIONSHIP.

RELATIONSHIPS require growth, the more we grow with the other, the more we bond. Some folks "bond" better to others; than other folks who seem to refrain from "bonding." Bonding requires GRACE, TRUTH and TIME.

PROBLEM

When we fail to BOND (next week) it makes it difficult to grow and to have a healthy relationship with others.

SCRIPTURE: John 15 (Jesus The True Vine)

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower."

NOTICE

There is a relationship between Jesus and The Father (God).

QUESTION

Is there a similar relationship between us and Jesus (the vine)?

SCRIPTURE TO PONDER: John 4:16b

God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
