John 15:1-8
"I am the true
vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch of mine that bears no
fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it
may bear more fruit. You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken
to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself,
unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the
vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that
bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If a man does not abide
in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered,
thrown into the fire and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you,
ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. By this my Father is
glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.

Maka-pamalandong ba
usahay kita nan kamatuoran na ingka-bunyagan kita?
Kay an gasa nan
pagdawat nan Holy Spirit, ato na man tag-tagamtam kada gutlo nan ato kinabuhi
disde nan inbunyagan kita.
An Spirit na dinhi
na nan pagkamugna pa nan kalibutan, an Spirit na gikan kan Jesus, amo man ‘sab
an Spirit na ato tagdawat nan pagbunyag dato.
Pero malisod para
dato an paghimo nan mga pamaagi na makasunod kita kan Jesus.
Ugsa na kinahanglan
lamang na mag-abide kita kan Jesus kay tag-sa’aran man ‘sab kita Nija na “as I
abide in you.”
Nagsalig ba kita sa
abiding presence ni Lord sa ato mga kinabuhi?

"Lord Jesus, may
I be one with you in all that I say and do. Draw me close that I may glorify
you and bear fruit for your kingdom. Inflame my heart with your love and remove
from it anything that would make me ineffective or unfruitful in loving and
serving you as my All."
