Listen to Today's Word
Abiding in His Love
Scripture
John 15:9–10
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love.”
Insight
To abide means to dwell, live, or stay. God does not want you to just visit His love during prayer time—He wants you to live there, like a branch attached to the vine. Your strength, peace, and identity flow from staying connected to Him.
Biblical Insight
Jesus lived continually aware of the Father's love. He didn’t strive or stress—He rested in love.
Reflective Questions
-
What pulls you away from remaining in God’s love?
-
How different would your life feel if you abided in His love daily?
Actionable Steps
Set aside 10 minutes today to simply be with God in silence.
Don’t ask for anything—just remain.
Meditation
Visualize yourself as a branch firmly connected to a thriving vine. The life of the vine flows through you effortlessly—not because you’re doing anything, but because you are attached. The more you stay connected, the more peace, clarity, and fruit you begin to bear. In this space, there’s no striving—only resting in His sustaining love.
God bless you!
