The Joy of Obedience
**Scripture:** John 15:10 (ESV) "If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love."
Abiding in God’s love is the true essence of the Christian life. The joy of living in obedience stems from the relationship we share with Him. As we choose to follow His commandments, we deepen our connection with Him and find joy in our journey. Reflect on the joy that comes from obedience today. How can embracing this joy change the way you approach challenges in your life? Let this perspective guide you as you respond to God’s love.
**Prayer:** Gracious Lord, fill my heart with joy as I choose to obey Your commandments. Help me to realize the depth of love that accompanies each step I take in faith. I desire to abide in Your love and experience the fullness of Your joy. Amen.
