🌿 You are the branch. Jesus is the Vine. Let Him carry what only He can carry. 🕊️ Day 4 of 5: There’s Power in the Vine — The Power of Still 📖 Scripture John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” 🪞 Reflection Many of us are exhausted because we have been trying to do the Vine’s job.

If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.” 🪞 Reflection A branch does not struggle to create life for itself. It simply remains connected to the vine. Through that connection, the branch receives everything it needs to grow, endure, and eventually bear fruit. Jesus uses this picture to teach us one of the most i

🤝 What you remain near will shape what grows within you. 🕊️ Day 2 of 5: There’s Power in the Vine 📖 Scripture John 15:4 “Remain in me, as I also remain in you.” 🪞 Reflection Proximity means closeness, nearness, or being side by side.

🍇 Healthy connection eventually produces visible change. 🕊️ Day 4 of 5: There’s Power in the Vine 📖 Scripture John 15:8 “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” 🪞 Reflection Fruit does not make a branch part of the vine. Fruit reveals that the branch is alive and connected. In the same way, we are not saved by good works. We are saved through faith in Jesus.
