Day 5: Living a Life Abiding in His Love

John 15:9: As the father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.

I used to think I had to work for God’s love. But then I realized that abiding in His love meant simply resting in His presence and trusting in His grace. When I started living from a place of abiding, my whole perspective changed. I no longer felt like I had to earn His favor—I just received it. Jesus invites us to abide, or remain, in His love. This means staying connected to Him, allowing His love to continually flow into our lives. As you conclude this devotional, make a commitment to abide in Christ daily. Stay close to Him through prayer, worship, and His Word, and let His love fuel your love for Him.

Through these testimonies and reflections, I pray that you will feel inspired to restore your First Love for God and draw closer to Him in deeper intimacy.
