“Staying connected”

“Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.” (John 15:4)

To: You           From: Jesus

  I am leading you along a way that is uniquely right for you. The closer to Me you grow, the more fully you become your true self. The one I designed you to be. Because you are one of a kind, the path you are traveling with Me diverges increasingly from that of other people. However, in my mysterious wisdom and ways, I enable you to follow this solitary path while staying in close contact with others. In fact, the more completely you devote yourself to Me, the more freely you can love people. Marvel at the beauty of a life intertwined with My presence. Rejoice as we journey together in intimate communion. Enjoy the adventure of finding yourself through losing yourself in Me.

I tell you that you can do nothing without Me. I expect you to look to Me continually, regardless of your circumstances. Constantly being with Me will keep your flame constantly lit.
