Abide in His love: Bridgette Saunders

 

How do you Abide in His love?

BRIDGETTE SAUNDERS, STONE CREEK WARD
As I was pondering over the scriptures for our upcoming women’s conference, I could not come up with anything that related to the theme of Abide in Me, instead my mind focused on John 15:11 “These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.” I loved that the Savior was teaching his disciples that they could have joy no matter what happened in the future as long as they kept his commandments so that they could abide in His love. He understood what they would have to face and the only way that they would be able to face it.
I was reminded of the words of our prophet President Russell M Nelson, “My dear brothers and sisters, the joy we feel has little to
do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.”
 (Joy and Spiritual Survival October General Conference 2016)
I have found that these words from the Savior and our prophet are true. If we focus on the Savior and try our best to keep his
commandments, we can have joy no matter what we have to face in our lives.
