    All way to meaning apart from God is but a grasping for the wind. But the way of Christ is the way to meaning.

    Can You Catch the Wind With Your Hands? Ecclesiastes 1:12-18 The Preacher uses many colorful metaphors to describe the vanity of everything he sees and does.

     | 3,353 views

    The great "I AM the Vine - You are the branches" is all about God's best for you. It teaches us about bearing fruit and being more productive for God. That may involve discipline where God has to deal with unproductive branches.
