remain in the vine

John 15:2 "He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful." 

John 15: "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed to to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name." 

i know that the fruit that will last is not in terms of the results/ how many pieces of homework the students complete...but fruit that will last will be the fruit of love, patience, kindness - that will impact their spiritual and character development.. 

They don't care how much you know, til they know how much you care.
