The Joy of Abiding

"'Abide in me' says Christ; and if you do abide in his love you shall have his joy fulfilled in yourselves that your joy may be full." — Charles Spurgeon

“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” - ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Oh, the joy of abiding in the Vine. The older I get, the less I enjoy being alone and the more I realize how impossible it is to do life or ministry apart from Jesus. For too long I was busy for God, but not always with God. Yet, when we remain in Christ, we accomplish more in the supernatural in a moment than we ever could in a lifetime of striving in the natural.

Oh, the sorrow of trying to do life without Jesus. Let’s choose to abide in Him and watch what He will do in and through us.
