Vine True am I
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He takes away every branch in me that does not bear fruit, and every one that does he prunes so that it bears more fruit. You are already pruned because of the word that I spoke to you. Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.” John 15:1-4
All you peoples, clap your hands; shout to God with joyful cries. Psalm 47:2
John 15:1-4 & Psalm 47
If you like to garden like me, then you can understand what it means to prune back your vines or your trees allowing the opportunity for new growth to continue to bring about the fruit the tree was meant to give. We maintain this pruning in life by sharing the Word of God each day knowing that we have already been cut back to offer the fruit of Salvation.
We must remain in Christ to receive this no matter our past sins or experiences of trauma for by yourself you can do nothing that will satisfy God unless you call on the name of Jesus for every endeavor. Our King reminds us over and over again to clap your hands and shout to God with joyful cries. Amen.
Join us in our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and Rose for me. Prayers for all who have asked us to pray for them or we said we’d pray for. IN Jesus Name. Amen.
I am a poet obedient to Christ,

Vine True am I
Vine True am I
Grower vines Father mine
Fruit bear not pruned
Fruit more pruned tuned
Father prunes each one
Spoken Word prune you
You remain in Son
Vine remains fruit True
Christ remains In You

About Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
My name is Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins. I first recognize Christ as my Savior in all things. I am married to my best friend and Soul-Mate in Christ, Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. I am a University of Florida graduate of Public Relations, a US Navy Veteran and a Montessori Elementary School Teacher. I love life and God's help of living it! I follow the Light of Christ in everything I do!
I love writing poetry about the Lord and I create a new poem from each Scripture I discern in my daily mediations. You can almost follow the poem by looking at the readings for each day. I started sharing this small yet personal scripture study four years ago when one day I was reading the bible and the Holy Spirit moved me to share the verse with a group of about 40 Christian Men in my Emmaus Ministry who get together weekly to celebrate the Lord and talk about His Truth. Since then the number of people I share my study with has grown to over 650.
I enjoy an open loving dialog about anything I write and I have strived to write what I know the Lord wants me to share steering clear of offending anyone’s spiritual beliefs because I share my work with people I meet in public when I strike up a conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It took almost 2 years to begin writing what the Holy Spirit leads me to say. I believe that all Christians must unite as One Body of Christ’s Love to accomplish the joy of living with love, honor and respect.
I reach out to Humanity to share His Salvation be it Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal or any other religion or belief. I seek to mirror His Compassion, His Simpleness, His Charity and His Love. While I am Catholic, I believe we must all unite in the Lord to become One Body in Christ to bring our children back to The Church. I am humbled to share my study with you. Please feel free to comment any time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my Joy because I am a Disciple of His Truth. I am honored to share my Bible study with anyone you may recommend. As always, I remain,
Yours in Christ,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
