Stay Connected to the Vine
“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit.”
Fruit doesn’t grow from striving - it grows from staying. Stay connected to Jesus, and you will bear fruit in due time. Apart from Him, our efforts are empty. With Him, everything becomes purposeful and powerful. Abide. Rest. Remain. The harvest will come through relationship, not pressure.
Reflection
Are you staying connected to the Vine through prayer, Scripture, and presence?
