Accept this invitation of Jesus: “Abide in My love.” (John 15:9 NASB)
When you abide somewhere, you live there. You don’t pull in the driveway and ask, “Where is the garage?” You don’t consult a blueprint to find the kitchen. To abide is to be at home.
To abide in Christ’s love is to make His love your home. Not a roadside park or hotel you occasionally visit, but your preferred dwelling. You rest in Him. Eat in Him. When thunder claps, you step beneath His roof. His walls secure you from the winds. His fireplace warms you from the winters of life. As John urged, “We take up permanent residence in a life of love.” (1 John 4:16 MSG) You abandon the old house of false love and move into His home of real love.
