Learning by Heart

"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."
see John 15

I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
And according to the fruit of his doings.
Jeremiah 17:10

He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8
