Thanks for sharing the quote from Thomas Kempis. It is so beautifully true. Yes, connecting to God Spirit-to-spirit is that abiding in the vine, Christ. And through that vine, we are given all that we need to produce fruit.

Yes, it is in His strength that we can work, work, and work better, until it is not only possible but that it is so!

I am an avid reader and it is part of my calling as a pastoral counselor to be well-read. I have been reading a book by Michael J. Wilkins called In His Image. This is a quote from this book that clearly states what I so often have to deal with in my counseling, "We cannot be set free from the lies the world tells us until we know the truth from God." What about you? Have you read anything lately that has stuck with you?
