"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.” – John 15:4
A grape branch doesn’t bear fruit because of its determined efforts to get sunshine; rather, it simply abides in the vine, and fruit appears. The vine does all the work. In the same way, believers are to be in union with their Savior so that spiritual fruit can grow in their life. (From In Touch)
Oftentimes, I have this prayer “to live a Spirit-filled life and be the better me” but the more I am striving and struggling harder the more I got disappointed and frustrated, until I realized that this could not be attained by trying harder but by trusting Him harder. Trusting Him by taking His promises literally just like abiding in the true vine and good fruits will follow.
Are you struggling to become the better you? Maybe it’s time to abide in the true vine.
