Abide in Me, Bear Fruit

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, consider the line 'I am the vine, ye are the branches' as a statement about your inner allegiance. The vine is the living I AM within you; the branches are your conscious thoughts and actions. To abide in Him is to remain consciously joined to that inexhaustible source. When you imagine yourself as a branch drawing nourishment directly from the vine, your attention shifts from striving to being. The 'without me you can do nothing' is not a condemnation but a diagnosis: in the absence of that inner union, your world runs on scarcity and effort; with it, all fruit—creative acts, right relationships, solutions—spring forth as natural byproducts of your aligned state. Your task is not willpower but alignment: feel the one presence flooding you, hear the whispered assurance that you are one with the source of life, and let that feeling reinterpret every habit, fear, and plan. As you dwell in the I AM, your acts carry the certainty of the vine’s sap; you awaken to abundance by believing you are already fruitful.
