Abide and bear fruit



Abide in Me, and I in you.  As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.  I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.  If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.  If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.  My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.  Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.  John 15: 4-9

I pray that you would find the courage to abide in the Father and in the great love that He has for you.  While abiding in Him, I pray that you would bear much fruit for His glory; that He would be able to use your life in any and every way that He sees fit to do so, using that fruit.  I pray that you would know the great power that is at your finger tips as you abide in Him.  That you would cling to Him, know His words, and live your life according to all that He has asked of you.  And that you would know the power that is found in asking of Him.  I pray that you would know the incredible, unmatchable love of God.
