Good Morning!

Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me.  -John 15:4 AMP

In order to live out what God has for us we have to stay plugged into Him and His word. We can’t experience it once and be good for life, it is a daily thing, a daily connection. We can’t experience closeness with God and then expect that to carry us through the rest of our lives without putting the effort in to keep up the relationship. The good thing is that if we have never experienced it or we have experienced in the past but have drifted away, we still can, all we need to do is pursue relations with God. Creating habits such as daily Bible reading, journaling, prayer time, etc. is just some of the ways that we can stay attached to the main Vine and give us the ability to bear the fruit of God.

“I never say a fruit-bearing Christian who was not a student of the Bible.”  -Dwight L. Moody

“The fruit you can see is always a result of the root you can not see.”

Dad Joke of the Day:

My favorite word is “drool.”

It just rolls off the tongue.

Have a great Monday!
