Abide in me

This came out of a prayerful time with God. As I poured my heart out to Him, He began pouring His out to me. I quickly reached for a pen to get it all down.

Then He said, "Share it"...

Sometimes we make things "work" that were never intended to be "work" and that is what this is poem is all about. Living from a loving space rather than a striving space. I could say more but I will let the poem speak for itself.

It’s not about the work

It’s about the relationship

Will you abide in me?

Will you trust that sometimes you will see the fruit or your labor

and sometimes you won’t but,

if you remain in me, YOUR fruit…

The fruit that grows on YOUR tree will be good

And satisfying

And it will be ours

***

Your worth is not measured by outcomes.

Your worth abides in me

and never changes.

Nurture what I am growing in YOU.

Grow YOUR tree and let everything else

be what it’s going to be…

Pursue love

Spread seed

Water seed

Nurture seed

Prune, burn and regrow—

Do the work that needs done in every season.

From love

For love

To love

Because of love

Scatter seed everywhere you go

Gather ripe souls as they come to you

But in your doing,

Abide in me,

Stay close.

And let your doing always flow from being—

The kind of being

that flows from being with me.

~ Jesus
