Nougat 9

Published on

Hello

I saw pictures on Facebook of the flooding in the Carolinas. It gave me a moment’s pause – if the downgraded Matthew was so impactful, how terrible it must have been in Haiti.

Might I urge us, wherever we are in the world, to be actively involved in relief efforts: for Haitians, for refugees seeking assylum, for the survivor of abuse, for the ‘one’ seeking an alternative way from their current “normal”. Thank you

Here’s today’s Holy Nougat™

“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 NLT

How fruitful are we? What have our branches produced?

Love

Joy

Peace

Longsuffering

Gentleness

Goodness

Faith

Humility

Self-control

An effective branch not only shows promise, but also delivers, with excellent fruit. Otherwise, it needs to be pruned.

So here’s our heart question … Is it plucking or pruning time?

In Christ
