why abide?

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 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. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”
-John 15:9-11

Abide. There’s so much in that one word. I have even based my template off of this. It’s all simple, because nothing can exist except by abiding in His love. One-Word 2012 is based off of the idea that you will not set goals, resolutions, nothing but your one word for the year of 2012. Abide is my word.
At first my word was hard to pick- but then I realized that this is the one for me. I am fresh out of highschool, looking at life with new eyes. But I need Jesus to get me through this, because He makes everything beautiful in His perfect time, if we abide in Him. Thus, I saw it only fitting to name this project abide. Because that, my friends, is what I want to do.
It’s my One-Word 2012 photography project. Welcome to it. And abide in Him.
