a Pinterest photo of a luscious vine with blooming flowers. a scripture comes to mind by our Lord Jesus Christ, saying, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and He prunes the branches that do bear fruit, so they will produce even more... 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 15:1-2,5)
this is an image from Pinterest of a Lounge. the following scripture comes to mind of our Lord Jesus Christ saying, "My people will again live under my shade. They will flourish like grapevines. They will be as fragrant as the wines of Lebanon." (Hosea 14:7)
an image of two empty chairs facing each other with an iron bar table having a checkerboard surface and a basket of lemons on it. the chairs are resting until a support beam of a house appears to have a vine of citrus fruits growing above. the following scripture comes to mind from the Lord of Heaven's Armies, "Come now, let us settle this. Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool. If only you will obey Me, you will have plenty to eat. But if you turn away and refuse to listen, you will be devoured by the sword of your enemies. I, the LORD, have spoken." (Isaiah 1:18-20)
a picture taken by the author of Botswana's sunset sky. the following scripture comes to her mind of the Teacher, King David's son who ruled in Jerusalem centuries and centuries ago: "Generations come and generations go, but the earth never changes. The sun rises and the sun sets, then hurries around to rise again... Everything is wearisome beyond description. No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content. History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new... We don't remember what happened in the last, and in future generations, no one will remember what we are doing now." (Ecclesiastes 1:4-5,8-9,11)
stay away from #idols, child! the Lord is the one who answers your prayers, not the man you fancy; the Lord cares for you, your people are limited. "I AM like a tree that is always green; all your fruit comes from Me," Jesus says. {1/2} °•` #lifeanddeath #art #fruittree #vines #love #journals #books
