The Gospel of John 15:17

Lots of people are simply making it. They are not thriving at life–they are just surviving life. Do you find yourself in that group–the group that is just surviving? There is a way to thrive no matter what your circumstances may be. The Bible calls it an “overcoming spirit.”

God, through His Word, gives a pretty clear picture of what it means to love unconditionally. This type of love isn’t just meant to be a four-letter word—it’s a way of being. It’s something that should pour out of us so naturally that it is present within every action—and in the ways we are called to fill in the gaps and be there for those around us. This truth was the heart of the civil rights movement, and this truth defined Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision for all to be recipients of justice and compassion.

Maybe you haven’t stopped believing in Jesus. But maybe you’ve felt distant. You still love Him, But prayer feels inconsistent. The Bible feels unopened. Church feels optional. John 15: “Remain in Me.” A branch cannot survive disconnected from the vine. This plan is your invitation - not to perfection - but to presence. Try This: Before reading Day 1, open your Bible and pray honestly, even a single verse or a 1-minute prayer counts. You Were Made to Abide!
