ON “ABIDING”
Yes, it is all about abiding, and not in any way about striving! Put it this way; you do not have to try to make everything happen on your own. If you keep being your best and trusting God, He will cause the right doors to open in your life. Jesus says: “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 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. …” (John 15:1-27, ESV). That’s it!!!
