Devotion:
Read John 15:4-9.
No matter what happens in your life, Jesus invites you to remain in him, and more specifically, to remain in his love. In other words, no matter what happens around you and to you, be assured that he loves you. To begin to understand the analogy of the vine and branches is to acknowledge that the vine and branches are not the same. Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. The two are joined together but not one. The common denominator in nature is the sap. The sap is the life of the vine. As the branch draws its life from the vine, so we draw life from Christ. To abide in Christ is to draw upon his life. His love flows from him through us to others. His love is what makes a difference in life.
Personal Worship Option:
Count the many ways that God demonstrates his love to you. Share that love with others today.
