Abiding in the vine

I am the Vine, you are the branches.
When you're joined with me and I with you,
the relation intimate and organic,
the harvest is sure to be abundant. 
Separated, you can't produce a thing.


 
Silent in worship, wonder and awe with Deidra and the Sunday choir

This verse in The Message version always stuns me with its "intimate and organic" translation. I want that, but I'm not quite sure what it looks like, and if I knew what it looked like, I wonder if I'd still want it?

Absolutely true. Separated, we can't accomplish anything that is part of His desire and draw for us. Good reminder.

Oooo ... Intimate and organic. Love that. I feel like I often get in a rut, routine, regimented. ... This is perfect.
