Abiding Forever
Scripture:
“Whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” (1 John 4:16)
Reflection:
Abiding is not just a temporary practice; it is the essence of eternal life. John reminds us that whoever abides in love abides in God. Since God is love, to remain in Him is to remain in love — a relationship that begins now and continues forever.
Abiding forever means we live each day in awareness of His presence, His love, and His faithfulness. This daily abiding prepares us for eternity, where we will dwell with Him without interruption.
Knowing that God abides in us gives us confidence. His Spirit lives within us, enabling us to remain in Him. Abiding is both our calling and our privilege, a foretaste of eternal communion with Him.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for the gift of abiding with You forever. Help me remain in Your love today and every day until I see You face to face.
