I found myself particularly convicted when reading through John 15:5 today. Popular verse that we're probably familiar with, yet it was as if it was "new" when I read it today.
John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
God has been showing me more and more how futile it is to try to bear fruit and grow on my own. I want to bear fruit so much....yet I can do nothing. Absolutely nothing. Nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing......
Do you understand your responsibility to remain in the vine? Are you continuously dependent upon it? Thus allowing it to bring life into you? A life that is pulsating with the power of Christ will be changed not only externally, but internally. Don't try to bear fruit by sheer will power, remain in him, connected to Jesus through faith.
There's a lie within my heart that believes deep down that I can do it on my own. God's truth has been slowly rooting out that lie. Replace this lie with truth, and believe the truth more and more. This lie continues to burden me, and i'm pretty tired of it.
