Be fruitful!

Remain in me, as I also 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. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
- John 15:4–5

In the same way, we cannot expect to produce spiritual fruit, joy, peace, love, and salvation while being far from God. To be fruitful Christians, we must first receive the nourishment we need by remaining connected to Christ, our source of life. The closer we are to Jesus, the stronger we will be spiritually, and the more fruit we will bear.

If you feel that life is very hard or overwhelming, if you lack the strength to keep going, perhaps you need to spend more time with God. Make Him a priority; cultivate your relationship with Him so you can receive encouragement and strength to face your challenges. Fill your heart with the Lord every day. Talk to Him, read His Word, receive His love, and you will see your perspective begin to change.

Feed your spirit and allow God’s love and power to flow through you. Begin to bear abundant fruit, drawing others closer to the Kingdom of God.

God's Desire

As Christians, we deeply desire the salvation of everyone. In the same way, God our Savior longs for all people to be saved and to come to the true knowledge of the truth. This invitation echoes throughout history, calling us to redemption through His Son, Jesus.

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
- Colossians 1:13–14

In light of this calling, we are challenged to reflect on our personal response. Amid the demands of daily life, God continually invites us to immerse ourselves in His truth. The journey of faith is one we share together, a pursuit of a deeper understanding of God's best for us.

Just as a flower opens to the light, we are called to open our hearts to the truth He has revealed. God's desire reaches beyond the limits of time, embracing humanity with redeeming love. In response to His invitation, we seek the truth with all our hearts, allowing the light of salvation to dispel the shadows.

.... God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
- 1 Timothy 2:3b–4

God desires that everyone come to know Him! At the heart of God is a passionate longing for all people to know the truth, to be saved, and to enjoy a personal relationship with Him. As the church, we are urged to pray that this becomes a reality. We are also called to be faithful examples of Christ.

But are we living in step with God's desire? Do we share His longing for everyone to be saved? Let us pray today for the expansion of God's kingdom and ask that our lives would be living examples of people transformed by His love and forgiveness.

Day Before Yesterday's Word

People to help you

Life is a wonderful gift from God to each of us, and that’s why we must make the most of every second. There are moments when life becomes very difficult, but God never abandons you. He chose specific people to walk with you and help you, and it’s important that you learn to value them.

I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
- Philippians 1:3–4

Do you remember a moment of pain or sadness in your life? Was there someone by your side encouraging and caring for you? Take a moment to thank God for that person and to pray for them. Perhaps right now that person is the one in need of encouragement and your prayers. Intercede before God on their behalf.

Sometimes other people don’t realize how much they’ve impacted our lives. If possible, express your gratitude to someone who was special to you during a time of anguish or sadness. Let them know how their attitude, word, or smile helped you in difficult moments. Today, be an encouragement and a blessing to the one who helped you in specific moments.

Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.
- Philemon 1:7
