May 10 Devotion - ABIDING IN THE VINE

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

انا الكرمة وانتم الاغصان .الذي يثبت فيّ وانا فيه هذا يأتي بثمر كثير .لانكم بدوني لا تقدرون ان تفعلوا شيئا .

John 15:5

Abiding in the Vine, allowing the Holy Spirit to reproduce Christ’s character, begins with humble surrender and dependence. We may slip in our Christian path, sometimes failure is the first step to victory.

When we abide in Jesus, we find that we can be kind to ungrateful people because the Holy Spirit is unfailingly kind. We can love all people because the Holy Spirit is love. We can be patient in trials because the Holy Spirit has boundless patience.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord, help me view my failures as the first step to victory. Jesus You are the Vine; I am the branch. Without You Jesus I am nothing and cannot accomplish anything.

Father let Your Holy Spirit flow through me to make me Christ like. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

 Jesus Loves you

In Him,
