Beschreibung
Just as grapes cannot grow without the grapevine, neither can we flourish and grow without God. He is the vine and we are his branches. Jesus often used everyday images and metaphors, including that of the grapevine, to help us understand more about God and the nature of our relationship with him. We are invited to abide (remain) in God. Of utmost importance in this process is learning how to listen deeply to what God is speaking into our hearts, through all of our senses. In the quietness that follows, our spirit is able to hear what God s Spirit is saying to us. The exercises in 'Abide' are designed to help you to take time out of your busy life to stop and deeply listen to God. Take some time out now, and learn how to abide in the presence of God.
