Jeremiah 13 - 15; John 15

I need help today Abba....

help me to care more for others than myself...to reach out more than look to be reached out to....

the pain of seeing myself is real and the brokenness is painful and would love to do just about anything to get away from it....so help me to not run....to not hide

to see no fruit.....maybe Nouwen is right and I need to hold there...We have been called to be fruitful—not successful, not productive, not accomplished. Success comes from strength, stress, and human effort. Fruitfulness comes from vulnerability and the admission of our own weakness.— Henri Nouwen
