The new year often brings big hopes for change, but most resolutions fade fast because willpower alone doesn’t last. Real transformation, according to Jesus in John 15, comes from connection, not effort. Instead of striving harder or trying to be the source of our own strength, we’re invited to abide, to stay connected to Jesus as the true vine. When we attach our lives to fake vines like success, relationships, or performance, burnout follows. Staying connected to Jesus produces lasting fruit, even through pruning seasons that feel uncomfortable but ultimately lead to growth, healing, and real life change.
