this is the most important thing in life. we have hope because the God that created the universe also created our souls and knows every fiber of our being. he is holy and perfect and so so good and yet he loves the heck outta all the sinful and broken people like me. Jesus died a painful scary dark death so I, a selfish + insecure + distracted human who’s not that great at life, could have a relationship with him. he has redeemed my soul. he has given me joy and freedom from my own sin + all the brokenness the world has to offer. he has made something beautiful out of my sinful heart. [feel free to send me a DM if you ever want to chat about this! Jesus is the most important thing about me and I would love to talk with you about it.]

Jesus said, “If you abide in Me, you will bear much fruit.” One translation says, “If you will depend on Me.” The word “depend” indicates continual action. You don’t depend once and then you’re done. It’s not, “Oh, I went to church on Sunday. I spent a couple hours. I did my duty.” No, if you’re going to depend on God, then all through the day your attitude should be, “God, I need You. God, help me to understand this subject in school. God, help me to raise these children.” That’s what it means to depend on God. The more you depend on God, the better things will work out. You will bear much fruit.

We can take the opposite of what Jesus said. If we don’t depend on Him, we’re not going to bear much fruit. We’re not going to be as productive as we could have been. Today, choose to abide in Him. Find strength in Him and let Him empower you for everything you face in this life.

A Prayer for Today

Father, today I choose to abide in You. You are my source, my strength, my power for life. Keep me close to You and show me Your ways in Jesus’ name. Amen.
