Branch or Tendril?

John 15:5-10 (AMP) I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.6 If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 8 When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine.9 I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [[a]continue in His love with Me].10 If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and live on in His love.

Jeremiah 5:10 "Go up within [Jerusalem’s] walls and destroy [her vines], but do not make a full and complete end. Trim away the TENDRILS [of her vines], for they are not the Lord’s."

Tendril/ˈtendrəl/ "A slender threadlike appendage of a climbing plant, often growing in a spiral form, that stretches out and twines around any suitable...Something resembling a plant tendril, esp. a slender curl or ringlet of hair."

Are you a branch bearing fruit or are you a tendril? There are many tendrils in our churches and within the Body of Christ. There are many branches that are not producing any fruit either. Use this time of Grace to make a choice to continue dwelling in HIM moving forward. Did Jesus ever say it would be easy to follow HIM? The reward or blessing for having His Word remain in us and continue to live in our hearts is that in whatever we ask, it shall be done for us.

Let us continue to examine our hearts asking the Holy Spirit to search our hearts so that we are not deceived thinking we are branches bearing fruit when in fact some may be TENDRILS! Lord, have mercy on those who are blind. May you put your salve on our eyes so we may perceive. May you put your salve on our ears so we may understand. May our hearts be willing to be fully circumcised!

May you all persevere and endure in all that are required for HIS Glory.
