Title: The Power of Connection.

-

Scripture: John 15:4 – “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.”

Reflection:  
Have you ever seen a branch lying on the ground, severed from the tree? It may look alive for a while, but without its connection to the trunk—its source of life—it quickly withers. In the same way, Jesus reminds us that our lives are only fruitful and truly alive when we remain connected to Him.
To "abide" is not just to visit occasionally—it means to live, to remain, to dwell. Christ longs for us to make our home in Him, to anchor our daily thoughts, choices, and desires in His love and truth. And the promise is astounding: as we stay close to Him, He pours His very life into us—His strength, His peace, His purpose. We don't bear fruit by striving harder, but by staying closer.
Today’s Challenge:  
Find a quiet moment today—just you and Jesus. Talk to Him. Listen. Open your heart fully and invite Him to renew that connection. Whether in your joys or in your struggles, He’s the Vine, and His life will sustain you.
Prayer:  
Lord Jesus, teach me to abide in You. Help me not to run ahead or drift away, but to stay connected to Your heart. Let Your life flow through me and produce the fruit that brings You glory. Amen.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
