Day 5: Fruit That Remains

Reading: Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:16-20

Devotional: Fruit from the true vine does three things: glorifies God, blesses others, and points back to Christ. Notice—none of that is about you. The greatest blessing isn't receiving; it's giving. Your life connected to Christ produces fruit that outlasts you, impacts eternity, and multiplies in others' lives. You'll love without trying, serve without straining, and minister without manipulating. People will cross your path—divine appointments at Walmart, Burger King, Dollar General—because God knows He can use you. It's not about your strength but His life flowing through you. You have a race to run, people to reach that only you can touch. But you can't run it disconnected. Reconnect today. Recommit to abiding. Let 2026 be the year you produce fruit that remains.

Reflection Question: Whose life is God calling me to impact through my connection to Him?
