Prayer

John 15:17 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.


If you keep reading on in John 15, it says that you abide by obeying his commands. Reference that with Colossians 3:3 that, "you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." and I see that as a believer I am not my own. I am now in Christ, to find me you have to go through the blood of Jesus. So when I magnify myself instead of Christ it is like I am stepping outside of the 'boundary lines' of Christ.  I don't fully understand and these are just some of my thoughts, but I know that I don't want to be a branch that finds itself cut off. Let's stay in the vine that gives life, turn to Jesus and stay there.
