Scripture — John 15:9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.”

READ
Read the verse slowly.

REFLECT
As October comes to an end, what has God been showing you? What does it look like for you to continue abiding in His love?

RESPOND
Thank God for what He has revealed during these 31 days. Ask Him to help you continue this rhythm beyond October.

REST
Don't rush away.
Sit quietly in God's presence.
Receive His love.
Remain.

PRAYER
Jesus, thank You for meeting me in these moments. Don't let this simply be something I did for a month. Teach me to slow down, listen, abide, and remain with You every day. May Your Word continue to shape my heart, my relationships, my choices, and my life. Amen.

There is no need to rush through these four steps.

Some days you may spend ten minutes. Other days you may spend twenty. Some days the Scripture may feel powerful and personal. Other days it may seem quiet.

That's okay!

The goal isn't to finish the devotional.

The goal is to meet with God.
