Isaiah 43:19 I have been trying something a little new for me. I have been listening to the Bible in The Message on Bible.com.

What If?
“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.
