Happy Thanksgiving

I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. John 15:5

What I am thankful for is this Truth: that we are incapable of doing anything without Jesus and Jesus isn't a follower He is the Leader. So the Truth is that we can't help but be all that our Father has designed us to be. Because of Jesus we have faith, just as He has faith, Hebrews 12:2. We have love, just as He has love, John 17:26. We forgive just as Jesus forgives, Luke 23:34. We have the same knowledge that Jesus has, 1 Corinthians 2:16. Everything that Jesus has and is we are now one with, Ephesians 5:30-32. 

All of the burdens of life have been removed from us. It is now Jesus being greater in us then anything that is in this world, 1 John 4:4. He is now being more then a conqueror through us, Romans 8:37. Jesus is now ever living to make sure that we are saved to the uttermost, Hebrews 7:25. And the thing that I am truly thankful for is it doesn't matter for one second if we understand all of this or not, Jesus is still doing it. He does not need us to first allow Him or empower Him to be Who He is within us. He first empowers us and we follow Him.

No one is able to come to Me unless the Father Who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and [then] I will raise him up [from the dead] at the last day. John 6:44

Thank You Jesus for causing us to be thankful and full of joy now, John 15:11.
