Jan Loyd - A Branch in the VineJan writes: “Years ago, God used Andrew Murray’s book Abide in Christ to transform my Christian walk. I came to realize, 'I'm just a branch' — a beloved one, and that’s all I ever have to be. I came to realize the Life of Christ, the Vine, will flow in and through me as I just rest in Him as a branch. This is what I write about —union with Christ as Life, and how this affects life on this earth. Join me in this journey, fellow branch in the Vine."
I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me , and I in Him, bears much fruit. For apart from Me, you can do nothing. John 15:5
