“Stay Close to Jesus”
📖 “I am the vine, you are the branches.”
—John 15:5a (NKJV)
Have you ever seen a tree branch full of apples or grapes?
That branch can only grow fruit if it stays connected to the tree or vine. If it breaks off, it can’t grow anything.
Jesus says we are like branches, and He is the vine.
When we stay close to Him—by praying, reading the Bible, and obeying—we grow things like love, joy, and kindness.
But when we try to do life without Jesus, we get tired and grumpy.
So stay connected to Him!
Talk to Him. Listen. Trust Him. That’s how you grow.
Think About It:
- How can you “stay close” to Jesus today?
- What kind of fruit do you want to grow in your life?
Prayer:
Jesus, help me stay close to You. I want to grow good fruit like love and kindness. Thank You for being with me every day. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
