Stay Connected to the Source: Abiding in Jesus Every Day
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
John 15:5 (KJV)
A branch does not work hard to make fruit. It simply stays connected to the vine. The life of the vine flows into the branch, and the fruit comes naturally.
Jesus said He is the Vine and we are the branches. If we want a life full of love, joy, and peace, the one thing we must remember is this: stay connected to the Source.
What does it mean to abide?
To abide means to stay, to remain, to make your home in Him. It is not a one-time visit on Sunday. It is a daily friendship with God.
Simple ways to stay connected
- Start your day with Him. Before your phone, give Him your first words.
- Read a little of His Word. Even one verse can feed your spirit.
- Talk to Him all day. Prayer can be simple, like talking to a friend.
- Worship. Singing keeps your heart turned toward Him.
Without Him, nothing. With Him, everything.
Jesus said, “Without me ye can do nothing.” That sounds hard, but it is really good news. You do not have to carry life by your own strength. When you stay close to Him, His life flows through you, and the fruit will come.
