Struggling in your everyday life? Well, there is hope that is found in Jesus Christ. He tells us in John 15 that if we abide in Him, He will abide with us: “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.” We must come to the realization that we can do nothing outside of Him. He is asking us to abide in Him because it is our choice. Once we agree to surrender to Him, then He will fulfill His promise to be in us by His Holy Spirit that will guide and direct us constantly.
