“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full” John 15:11
Jesus was speaking to His disciples in the above verse about who He was…. the True Vine.
He was saying that they needed to abide in Him, just as a branch abides on a vine, for a branch cannot do anything unless the vine supports it and supplies its nourishment.
He was saying if the disciples abided in Him then His joy would remain in them, and their joy would be full.
So, thinking upon this, we believers who are His disciples should also heed His words. If we want to be fruitful and joyful, we need to abide in Him. For He said in John 15:4 “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.”
Therefore, today let’s pray that our joy might be full in Christ.
Dear God,
Today I am praying that my joy may be full as I abide in Jesus 24/7. Help me to be a strong branch that bears much fruit for You, God, because I am abiding in the True Vine.
You said, Father God, that You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11
Therefore, I am praying for that. I want to experience the fullness of joy while I am on Your path in Your presence and know that I will have pleasures forevermore because of Your Son Jesus Christ, who is now seated at Your right hand in heaven interceding for me. Jesus said in John 16:24 “Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” So, I am now asking this in Jesus’ name for I want my joy to be full! Thank You God. Amen.
