John 15:4 & 5 (NKJV)

"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."

Ephesians 3:14 - 20 (NKJV)

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.

Abide in Jesus - Be intimate with Him - Be filled with His Spirit - Be rooted and grounded in His love - Be filled with the fullness of your Father - Embrace His power that is within you and receive with thanksgiving His bountiful blessings

Abba, Father this day and each day forward we are filled with Your Spirit, guided in all truth (John 16;13), fulfilling Your purpose for our lives, walking in a manner pleasing to You (Philippians 3:14 and Colossians 1:10); it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we rejoice and pray. Amen.
