We are the branches.

I am the vine;
you are the branches.
Those who remain
in me,and I in them,
will produce much fruit.
For apart from me
you can do nothing.
John 15:5
The ocean, the redwoods, an open field, a mountain. These are what I seek to draw closer to my Creator. Pure, simple yet complex, beautiful but dangerous, powerful yet serene.

Maybe He made the world the way He did so that we would understand more of the truth of who He is. Perhaps He made the tree with roots, branches, and fruits so that we might catch a glimpse of how He meant us to live. Maybe He wrote those metaphors before writing existed.

His ways amaze me.
