Do you hear the servants coming who will decide who stays and who leaves? As the sound of the pruning shears are cutting even the thicker branches as you hear them do their work!
Will hope be enough to save you?
Only the vine knows. Only If you are in Him!
The vine senses the hope that is in you!
He knows your life!
He knows if you shall live! He knows by now , if there is no life in you, and if you shall be cut away!
We cannot see ourselves in comparison to the others branches, yet if you are still alive, and you have this hope, you will not be cut away!
This hope will be enough to save you, as the pruning shears cut , oh so near, yet, we will abide only because of Him ! The true vine, Jesus the Christ!
They see but they do not see? They hear but they do not hear? Just those words alone ,would cause one to seek Ye first the kingdom of God! The power of the word! It is everlasting ,like the waters that flow from it!
This puts us all on edge; between total paranoia and understanding security in Christ. The key; I believe is the Lord trimming away or pruning us as He chastises all He loves. Those who are unregenerate are only enjoying the benefits of the vine; not producing fruit. They are unwilling to submit themselves to having the "dead" parts of their lives to be extracted so further growth can ensue. This compares to the cares and riches of this world choking out productivity. We are tested and should test ourselves to see if we are in the faith.
Admittedly; it is hard to fathom being part of the vine and yet risking being cut off and burned with eternal judgment. Such appears to indicate tares among wheat. Such branches also are a deadweight to the body and an offense. To truly be born again we are adopted children; and hence the needs of others should predominate above our own. HIS desires must become ours; it is not our demands upon the source of our life that are to be proudly proclaimed. The fruit is FROM Him; not our own filthy rags; and it is to benefit the Kingdom not our own agendas. Those out for "filthy lucre" are receiving their "rewards now"; those fading flowers whose life soon is to pass into darkness as a vapor who use Christ for their own stomachs; so to speak. Obedience is better than sacrifice; and any sacrifice started with His own at the cross; and we are to be dying daily crucifying the flesh. We may be credited because of a faithful witness and the suffering in our own lives leading to spritual rewards; but it is His life within us and that alone that allows that to flourish. God chooses who He will save on His terms; not ours.
Jesus never showed Paranoid. The scripture says he isthe lamb of God . A perfect man doing the will of his father.The human nature OF A PERFECT Man found in the son. I believe and think, and the Bible teaches this same holiness is in those who live in him .
That the Father sees us through the Son. The life line between God and man. This is the empty space between the hands in Michael Angelo's painting.The creation of Adam.
Are you a withered branch?

Repent and be Baptized
These are all weighty words, and have, and no doubt will, cause me much introspection! I praise the Lord for such soul-searching thoughts!
Blessings to you both!
Seeking out those things of what Jesus spoke of.
They see but they do not see? They hear but they do not hear? Just those words alone ,would cause one to seek Ye first the kingdom of God! The power of the word! It is everlasting ,like the waters that flow from it!
In Christ, Fred
