Daily Devotion (English) – 06.01.2026

 

Abide in Me

 

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself...” - John 15:4

 

Once, a grapevine grew in a garden near my house. The owner of the garden had built a support for it and was cultivating it carefully. They weeded, fertilized, and watered it diligently. After many days, it blossomed, bore fruit, and yielded grapes. Many clusters of grapes were obtained from that single vine. Seeing that, these verses came to my mind.

 

The Bible says that if the branch does not remain in the grapevine, it will not bear fruit on its own. Similarly, if you do not remain in me, you will not bear fruit. Yes, we cultivate the grapevine so that it may bear fruit. Likewise, God has a plan for each of us. To bear the fruit according to that plan, we must abide in Him. If we do not abide in Him, we can do nothing. Knowing through the Scriptures the things we should do each day and abiding in them is what it means to abide in the Lord.

 

We must abide in the Lord, and His words must abide in our lives. When we obey and live according to His words, we can bear much fruit. Because His word purifies us. It points out to us the things that are displeasing to God, helps us to abandon them, and guides us to understand and act according to the desires of His heart. The Bible in our hands is His word. When we love the Lord and read His word, blessings are sure to follow. The Lord's word must become our life.

 

Dear Beloved, sometimes the words of Scripture may break our self-will, they may be corrective, they may be warnings, and they may purify us. Purification is proof that He is near us. But all these things are for the purpose of us bearing fruit. This year, let us remain in His word so that we may bear fruitful results for God, our family, and our friends. May the Lord bless us. Amen.
