God’s compassion and love for us is great. We get caught up with the flamboyance of the world when we should be acknowledging and recognizing the love of God. We must realize that we need help. What God wants from us is a relationship. He is always present to be a source of our energy. We’ve allowed ourselves to be so intimidated by the world’s system. God is in the midst of our lives, no matter what we find ourselves in. Christ is the vine and He gets His energy from the Father. He had a relationship with the Father. God planted Christ in the flesh so that we could have hope and the help we need to make our lives count. Many times, we don’t think we can do things and this doubt is hindering us to be what God intends us to be. Matthew 21: 33-41 “Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and he leased it to vine-growers and went on a journey. And when the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his fruit. And the vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first; and they did the same things to them. But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let’s kill him and take possession of his inheritance!’ And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?” They said to Him, “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end and lease the vineyard to other vine-growers, who will pay him the fruit in the proper seasons.”
