The word tells us “I am the True Vine, and my Father is the Gardener” John 15:1 As we relate the garden to our lives our father has created and plated the seeds within us, it is only ourselves that tend to create thorns and weeds (situations & circumstances) that must be cut down in order to bear good fruit. The lord is our source, our provider, the rain, & the nourishment we need to bear fruit for the Vine (our lives)
