The Glory of a Tree Or a Branch of a Vine

Fortune and Fame, Is this the root of the value of your name? If all your valued were stripped away, would be like a tree who leaves were stolen away by the winds of a hurricane? In the eye of a watching world, would you appear to be like a hopeless tree, stand in the forest with naked branches and rotted out roots? If you were like a branch that was grafted into a healthy strong vine named Jesus The . Nazarene. Though the hurricanes will come and go and steel your fortune and fame Your branches will never remain naked. For the vine's root will never rot. For the vine is the source of eternal life and has over come the power behind the force of the hurricanes. The branch that abides in the vine will always renew it's fruit. Which is your fortune and fame rooted in? Are you a tree standing alone in the forest try to produce your own glory? Are you a branch grafted the vine name Jesus The Nazarene? Written by Stephen J.
