I am the true vine. John 15:1 In today’s society, we struggle with the thought of “I am good enough”. God made us exactly the way we are and we are good enough. Especially when we are His child. He made each of us full of potential and with a purpose. He made us produce fruit, His fruit. Fruit that will bring glory to God. Do you want to produce fruit for God’s glory?
