We do not follow Jesus by agreeing with ideas. We follow Him by being with Him. Before Jesus ever sent the disciples to preach, heal, or lead, He invited them to stay close to Him. Presence before purpose. In a culture that celebrates busyness and constant motion, we learn to slow down and remain with Him. Abiding means rearranging our lives around His presence, listening without filtering, being open to His interruptions, and bringing our whole selves to Him. Transformation does not happen by trying harder. It happens by staying near Jesus. When we learn to be with Him, everything else begins to change.
