"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."
A branch never strains to produce fruit. It simply stays connected to the vine, and the life of the vine does the work. Jesus does not command us to try harder; He invites us to abide: to remain, to stay, to make our home in Him.
So much of our tiredness comes from trying to produce fruit while disconnected. We pray in a rush, we skip the Word, and then we wonder why our patience is thin and our joy is gone. Today, return to the Vine. What you cannot do in your own strength, His life in you will accomplish.
Prayer
Jesus, You are the Vine and I am a branch. Forgive me for the times I have tried to live without You. Today I choose to remain in You. Let Your life flow through me. Amen.
