The Sap

Two thoughts from my devotional reading this morning from the book: “With Christ in the school of prayer” by Andrew Murray.

“It is Fatherlike love that awakens Childlike trust”

“We are like a branch that is already filled with the sap of the vine and is crying for the continued and increasing flow of the sap. Just as the branch needs more sap to bring its fruit to perfection, the believer, rejoicing in the possession of the Spirit, still thirsts and cries for more.”

It is good to remember that the desire of God is that we be filled abundantly. I don’t deserve any of that sap that gives life. But it is mine because of the Father-child relationship I have with God through Jesus Christ.

I am thankful for the reminder.
