Day 9 | Tuesday – Remain in My Love
Listen instead of reading
Read The Daily
“I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. (John 15:9)
When Jesus said “abide in my love” (John 15:9), he was saying “rest in my love for you.” To abide in Christ is to live with the complete dependence that a branch has for a vine. It’s realizing that apart from him we can do nothing. But that is only half of the story.
Apart from Him we can do nothing.
With Him, we will do great things.
(If you’d like more proof from the Bible then check out John 14:12, 1 Cor. 15:10, Php. 4:13, and Pro. 4:18)
Want to know God’s will for your life? Abide in Christ. Want to discover your God-given destiny? Abide in Christ. Want to learn the reason you are on this planet? Abide in Christ. Abiding in Christ is the most productive, fruitful thing you can ever do.
What happens when we abide in Christ?
When you come to that place of total surrender and say, “Not my will but Yours be done,” you prime yourself for great things. The spiritual sap begins to flow from that Holy Vine into your life.
Here are some good prayers to keep for the remaining 15 days:
“Lord, because you have made me holy, righteous, and acceptable to God, I have nothing to prove.”
That’s a pretty good prayer.
“Lord, because you have done the work, I choose to rest in you. Whether I lead many to you or none at all, your great love for me never changes.”
That’s another great prayer.
“Lord, I’m done striving, done trying, done worrying. My life is yours.”
This is one of the smartest prayers you will ever pray. The moment you choose to trust instead of try, you give God space to move. And what he will do is reveal himself through you to others.
Which is pretty exciting.
Just imagine what can happen when the same Spirit that brought life to the earth and raised Christ from the dead begins to move in your life.
Reflect and Journal: How am I feeling from fasting? Struggling? Excited? Something else?
Prayer: Take time to pray for the following needs:
