Stay united with me, as I will with you – for just as a branch can’t put forth fruit by itself apart from the vine so you can’t bear fruit apart from me. John 15:4
As Christians, our determination in all things is rooted and sustained by the power of the atonement of the cross of Jesus Christ.
Abiding is not anything Jesus does for us; it is ours to yield into our being. Whatever we do and go through on our journey, we are called to do it all for the glory of God.
Only through abiding in Him and opening our hearts for Him to abide in us can we bring glory to our Heavenly Father. In Oneness with Him, we can do things impossible for man, but so possible for God. Like we can take every thought captive, invite Him to change our hearts, to guard our mouths and invite His strength to bring every area of our life under His mastership. Yes, our lives have many pieces.
