Abide in Me.
This one feels less about striving…
and more about staying connected.
“Stay united with me…”
— John 15:4
Because branches don’t force fruit.
They remain connected to the vine.
And honestly…
I can feel the difference when I’m disconnected.
Everything becomes harder.
Heavier.
Draining.
But abiding changes that.
His presence sustains.
His life flows through us.
His strength produces fruit we could never manufacture on our own.
Maybe fruitfulness isn’t about doing more—
maybe it’s about staying near Him.
