Remaining in the Father’s Embrace
If there is a central theme running through the entire Christian life, it is this: Learning to stay where we are— in the Father’s love.
Jesus expressed this idea with a simple yet profound word: “Abide.” — John 15:4 Abiding is not about striving. It’s not about achieving. It’s not about maintaining a spiritual high. It’s not about reaching for something distant.
Abiding means staying—remaining in what is already true, in the relationship already given, and in the love already poured out.
