Monday
John 15:4-5
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.
Knowing Christ is more than a passing acquaintance or a weekly routine; it is a daily, intimate relationship built through time, listening, and shared life. Just as a spouse knows their partner deeply through both good and hard times, so we are invited to know Jesus personally—by spending time in His Word, in prayer, and in quiet listening. This intimacy grows as we open our hearts, listen more than we speak, and allow the Holy Spirit to shape us. Make space today to be with Jesus, not just to ask for things, but to know Him for who He is.
