Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice – Philippians 1:18

---

Jesus is the way the truth and the light. There is nothing before or after him. He is the door to the Father. Nobody knows the Father except Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Our joy is in the Lord, because we are in Him, and he in us. I am the vine, you are the branches. It’s not our job to know the source of our joy but woe to him who strives with his maker.

Just like a fruit tree blossoms in its fulness and produces fruit, so the fruit of the spirit works in mysterious ways. If we are not in a place of joy, we are to find our way back to the branch. Because the Father will cut all branches that do not produce fruit.
