A few months ago, I went to start one of our church vans, and when I turned the key all I heard was silence. The battery was completely dead. After a jumpstart, a trip to autozone, and a new battery, it roared back to life. That van is a mirror of how many of us live. We smile and show up, but deep down, we’re running on fumes. We’re emotionally drained, spiritually empty, and mentally worn out. In John 15, Jesus says, 'I am the true vine,' reminding us that he is our source of our life and power. Jesus isn’t calling us to try harder. He’s inviting us to abide. Come experience the joy of renewal as God breathes life into what feels dry, tired, and worn out.
