"As the Father loved me, I also have loved you; abide in My love." -- John 15:9
"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." -- John 15:5
The Lord wants us to bear fruit. To do so, we must abide, dwell with Him, i.e., obey His commandments, study His word, meditate on all He says, listen intently, think on His goodness.
When we dwell on self, we cannot be fruitful. We are not abiding with Jesus, but rather ourselves.
S - Selfish ambition, selfish desires

Help me Lord to remember to remember Your Truths.
It's the journey ... not the destination. ... The journey ... my eyes were opened and I knew Him and my heart was changed. ... Won't you join me in my travels, meandering here and there, journeying within my mind and beyond, on paths great and small, through this world that was created by and belongs to the Lord God Almighty.
