The Importance of Extra Attention in a Struggle

John 15 verse 1: I am the true vine and my father is the vine dresser. Verse 2: Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. There's a little one circled in my Bible that says or lifts up. The implications are disastrous because many of us have believed sometime in the past he disconnected himself to me because I couldn't get my act together. John's trying to say, if you're struggling, you get extra attention, not less attention.
