I took this photo while attending a Christian retreat. God used this image to minister to me. Through it, I recognize that God will restore me and strengthen my spirit.
For a period of time, I have been experiencing spiritual dryness and letdowns. But now, I understand that God was only strengthening me through the trials and sufferings. In His time, He’ll make us sprout, He’ll make us grow, and He will make us bear fruit if we abide in Him.

hey what does it mean to abide in Him?
Arthur Pink* offers an excellent definition of what it means to abide in Christ.
“First, to abide in Christ is to continue in the joyful recognition of the value of His perfect sacrifice and the efficacy of His precious blood. Second, to abide in Christ is to maintain a spirit and an attitude of entire dependency on Him. Third, to abide in Christ is to draw from His fullness.
