Joyful Dependence
Joyful Dependence
✝️ “Apart from me you can do nothing.” — John 15:5
🕊️ What This Means
Jesus is saying something very important here that we don't want to miss: we aren’t meant to live life alone or rely only on ourselves. Just like a branch needs to stay connected to the vine to stay alive and grow, we need Jesus at the center of our life. Without Him, we can try hard, but nothing we do will last or truly satisfy.
This doesn’t mean we stop doing things — it means instead of depending on our own strength, we learn to depend on Jesus for strength, wisdom, peace, and joy. When we trust Him, life starts making sense in ways we couldn’t on our own.
🤔 Think About This:
What is something you’re trying to handle all by yourself — worry, stress, a decision, or a relationship? Life feels lighter and more hopeful when we begin to let Jesus walk with us instead of carrying everything alone.
🙌 Practice Step:
Today, whenever you feel overwhelmed or unsure, quietly say to Jesus:👉 “Jesus, I depend on You.”
This simple reminder helps your heart turn toward God — not as the backup plan, but as your strength and refuge. Seek Ye FIRST, the Kingdom of God and his righteousness.
🌟 A Simple Thought:
Dependence on Jesus isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s where true joy, peace, and life begin.Jesus invites us to live with Him at the center of everything — and that makes everything else fall into its right
