THURSDAY THOUGHTS: Abide Series — Connected to the Vine "Apart from Me you can do nothing." – John 15:5 Fruit doesn't come from striving. It comes from staying connected. A branch doesn't force itself to produce fruit. It simply remains attached to the vine and receives what it needs to grow. We often spend our energy trying harder, doing more, and fixing ourselves. Yet Jesus reminds us that real growth begins with dependence. The goal isn't to work harder for God—it's to stay connected to the One who gives life. 👉 When you feel pressure to perform this week, pause and ask: "Am I striving, or am I abiding?" #ThursdayThoughts #AwanitaValley #Abide #ConnectedToTheVine #John15 #FaithOverStriving #RemainInHim #FeelsGoodToBeHome #CampRetreatAdventure
