Dear beloved,
This letter is for the one who keeps running to God but not staying with Him.
You come close when life breaks you.You pray when fear finds you.But once relief comes, your roots stop growing.
You were never meant to visit His presence,you were meant to live there.
The Secret of Remaining
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” —John 15:4
Fruit isn’t the proof of effort. It’s the result of connection.You can’t stay spiritually full while living partially plugged in.
You were not called to produce for God;you were called to be with God.
And it’s from communion with God that fruit happens.
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” —Psalm 91:1
Abiding is less about what you do and more about where you dwell.It’s learning to stay when everything in you wants to strive.
The Rhythm of Abiding
You don’t earn God’s presence. You enter it.
You don’t fight for favor. You flow from it.
Abiding means letting His Word shape your thoughts,letting His Spirit guide your reactions,and letting His love hold you steady when nothing else makes sense.
The enemy can’t uproot what keeps returning to the Vine.Every time you pause to listen instead of perform,you’re proving that your faith is not a feeling…it’s a home.

Pray this softly but sincerely:
“Lord, teach me to abide.I’m done with momentary faith and occasional connection.Dwell in me as I choose to dwell in You.Let Your Word take root in my heart and Your Spirit steady my steps.I don’t want a visit. I want union.In Jesus’ name, amen.”
Then ask:
“Where am I still treating God like a guest instead of my home?”
Journal or sit in stillness until you feel His peace settle in.It’s a yielded pause that turns into a lifelong posture.
From now on you will move forward, saying,
“I am abiding in Christ.”
Abiding is not about staying busy for Him,it’s about staying close to Him.
And those who remain will bear fruit that remains.
If this helped you slow down and stay, forward it to a friend who longs for that same nearness. Let’s remain—and bear fruit that remains—together.
With love in Christ,Camille & Shawna
“If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” — John 15:5
