His Vineyard

Jacob 5: 8 And behold, saith the Lord of the vineyard, I take away many of these young and tender branches, and I will graft them whithersoever I will; and it mattereth not that if it so be that the root of this tree will perish, I may preserve the fruit thereof unto myself; wherefore, I will take these young and tender branches, and I will graft them whithersoever I will.

As I have been reading about the allegory of the Olive Tree I feel the purpose of the Lord teaching us in parables. The highest lesson I found as I compared the parable to my own parable is that - The Lord loves us and He will do everything He can to help us in His vineyard.

The things I am finding are reminding me exactly what I had told Brooke only weeks ago about our little baby rabbits that we love.

As some of the newborns were suffering from lack of calories since the mom was not nursing them, I told Brooke - yes, I love those little babies too and it makes me sad they might die and we will do everything that we can to help them. I will take and feed some myself and if I had another mother rabbit, I would have put them with her.

And that might be sad for them to be taken away from the Mom but this is how we save them.

I told Brooke, I am sorry that we lost a couple babies too, but they are just waiting in another place right now and had we not done everything we could for them?

Jacob 5:41
And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard wept and said unto the servant: What could I have done more for my vineyard?

We saw some babies do very well and Brooke wanted to keep them but I told her they will do better in another place and perhaps they can have their own babies and that is happy.

I know the Lord is at work in all of our lives and that the great purpose of His work comes from the love that He has for us. He desires all of us to do well and be happy, which comes by the means of the fullness of His gospel.

His work in our world is to bring to pass the immortality and life of man.

I hope that I can help love and assist Him in this work as I strive to share the means of joy ( the Restored Gospel ) with everyone.

I say this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
