Hey everybody, Erica here with Team Lucado.

Wanted to share some exciting news with you all, Max's brand new book you were made for this moment,

inspired by the timeless and timely story of Esther is available

now wherever books are sold. Hi everybody Max Locato here from my home to yours. Thanks so much for joining me

for today's encouraging word.

All the very best to you today, my friends. My Bible is open to John Chapter 15. John Chapter 15 gives us a wonderful analogy.

How Christ creates peace as we stay attached to him.

Really the theme of peace is the theme of the Gospel of John and it's the theme of this book

we've been working through.

You are never alone.

And God's desire is not that you lead a life of anxiety and trepidation and he talks often about

how he brings peace into our hearts and if you could use some peace you're in the

right place.

Better said, John 15 is the right place.

In this passage, Jesus says,

I am the true vine and my father is the vine grower. Now the allegory is simple. God is like a vinekeeper. He lives

and he loves to coax the best out of his vines. He pampers, he prunes, he blesses, he cuts. His aim is singular.
