Ruth writes: “In my quiet time, the Lord inspires me with thoughts of revelation and encouragement. I cherish these words, so record them in my journal. Some have been read to friends, who urged me to share more. The Lord impressed me that these thoughts were His and not just for me alone. For this reason, I have agreed to share some of my precious moments of inspiration in the Lord’s Presence. I pray they will be an encouragement to you, and you also will be inspired to listen for His thoughts in your quiet time.” ~Ruth Doggette

The Vine And The Branches

I Am the Vine, you are the branches. Your life – both natural and spiritual – flows from Me into andthrough you. My Nature, My Attributes, My Power is contained in My Spirit that you receive from connection to Me. Thus, you are bone of My Bone and flesh of My Flesh – united- bearing My image and likeness. I Am the Source of the fruit you bear – the more youdraw on My Spirit, the more of My Likeness is displayed. The fruit is not self – produced by you, but a manifestationof My Grace – My Ability to extend Myself into your lifefor My Glory, and through you to refresh others. My Response:Lord, May our branches be strongly connected to You – The Vine! (Taken from my Journal of Inspirations From the Spirit of God) – Ruth Doggette
