Now Why This Fear?

- NEW TESTAMENT READING -

John 15:1-11

 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

The Love of Jesus, fromt the Valley of Vision

O FATHER OF JESUS,

Help me to approach thee with deepest
      reverence,
  not with presumption,
  not with servile fear, but with holy boldness.
Thou art beyond the grasp of my understanding,
  but not beyond that of my love.
Thou knowest that I love thee supremely,
  for thou art supremely adorable, good, perfect.


My heart melts at the love of Jesus,
  my brother, bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh,
  married to me, dead for me, risen for me;
He is mine and I am his,
  given to me as well as for me;
I am never so much mine as when I am his,
  or so much lost to myself until lost in him;
  then I find my true manhood.
But my love is frost and cold, ice and snow;
Let his love warm me,
  lighten my burden,
  be my heaven;
May it be more revealed to me in all its influences
  that my love to him may be more fervent
    and glowing;
Let the mighty tide of his everlasting love
  cover the rocks of my sin and care;
Then let my spirit float above those things
  which had else wrecked my life.


Make me fruitful by living to that love,
  my character becoming more beautiful every day.
If traces of Christ’s love-artistry be upon me,
  may he work on with his divine brush
  until the complete image be obtained
  and I be made a perfect copy of him,
    my Master.


O Lord Jesus, come to me,
O Divine Spirit, rest upon me,
O Holy Father, look on me in mercy
  for the sake of the well-beloved.
