Rooted in Faith: Living a Purposeful Connection with God

Christ's words, "I am the vine, you are the branches," highlight our need to stay closely linked to God. The metaphor illustrates how our strength and purpose flow from this connection rather than ourselves. Just as branches rely on the vine for life, we are called to remain close to God, guided by His love.

The promise of "whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit" implies that a strong relationship with the Father naturally brings out the best in us. Our "fruit" is visible in the compassion, patience, and care we show for others, revealing the impact of being God-centred. Instead of seeing ourselves as separate, we realise our actions contribute to a greater purpose, grounded in God’s presence.
