John 15:4-5 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. (NIV)
John 15:4-5 “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so 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, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. (NASB)
I don’t know where you are in life but the Lord is teaching one thing which is Abiding and Remaining in Him. I realized that I cannot do anything which Him, He is Everything and the very fact that I’m able to see another is a Blessing in its self. No matter what season you are walking through I want to encourage all my brothers and sisters in Christ to continually to fall more in love with Jesus. This is however not a competition, but this is FAMILY. Loving Jesus should NEVER be a competition or looking down on a brother or sister who stumbles from time to time. I would love to say that this is the FAMILY that sees the best in one another and will love you because you know how much you’re loved by the FATHER. The Father invites us into HIS Family and He is always pursuing and chasing after you with LOVE. Whether you’re in college or High School or in the working world, As Christians and fellow brethren we just HAVE to Abide in JESUS. If we don’t we cannot do anything and like I said before. JESUS is EVERYTHING. He sees exactly where you’re in life and if you stumble and fall, don’t be condemned but Repent and run to Jesus. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and I how to completely fall in love with Jesus or how to walk in complete OBEDIENCE with the FATHER. God is a Really Good Father. Trust in Him and He is always ready to carry you throughout any and every circumstance. Don’t let your circumstances you are going through define How you love and follow JESUS. Remember we are HIS and we cannot do anything without Jesus. If you are in a relationship or single, Remember that having a significant other or being married will not truly satisfy the longings for our hearts. For the Singles in the Room, You’re not Single when You are surround by LOVE. His name is JESUS. HE chases after you more than anyone else can. Spend Quality time with JESUS and with your friends and family, do LIFE together. Worship the Lord together. Love ONE Another. If you’re married or dating or in a relationship Remember that you’re defined by your relational status and that person will not complete you, Only Jesus CAN and WILL. All I am trying to say is that no matter what season you’re in; Abide in His LOVE. Continue to Follow after JESUS, There are certainly season where you don’t feel like worshipping and sometimes can be depressed or going through various emotions all at the same time BUT HIS love for YOU will never CHANGE and the father always WILL LOVE YOU. Whenever you are in a pickle of a mess and don’t know what to do. I want to know that JESUS really really loves you and His love towards us NEVER CHANGES. Rest in the love of the FATHER. He is a Really Good Father, God is so Crazy about You and wants YOU to encounter this great and amazing LOVE. Be thankful in all situations and just worship Him for His kindness and love towards you. His emotions towards us never CHANGES. HE is LOVE. God is constantly chasing and running after YOU. Trust in the Lord with all your Heart and Soul and Mind, Stay Faithful in whatever you’re doing and work Hard. Get connected with a Bible Believing loving church and be involved in community groups or lifegroups. Family is important and we cannot run the race alone and we need each other. I need you and you need me and we all need Jesus. Trust in Jesus. He wants all of you and He cares about you and just cry out to the Lord and pray to Jesus in all circumstances. He is so Faithful and desires to carry you and love on you throughout your life. He is LOVE and Run together in FAMILY. LOVE ONE ANOTHER and Love and Follow Jesus with every fiber of our being. God is a really good father. PRAY in every seasons and Worship the Lord in every seasons. Trust the Lord and Abide in the love of the father. God loves the FAMILY. Family running after the fathers heart together in Community that is growing in LOVE with the father and with each other. He is God of More than Enough. He is Enough FOR ME. Jesus Be My Everything.
