Dear sisters, as we gather at the Abide Conference, let us remember that in our journey of faith, we are not alone. Just as branches abide in the vine, so must we abide in Christ. It's in this abiding that we find our strength, our purpose, and our peace. May our time together in Miami be a sacred space where we deepen our connection with God and with one another, drawing from the wellspring of His love to empower and inspire us in our daily lives. Let us abide together, rooted in faith, flourishing in His grace.

Let us also remember that our journey of abiding is not always easy. We face storms, challenges, and moments of doubt. Yet, it is in these very moments that our faith is tested and strengthened. Like the palm trees that stand resilient against the winds of the hurricane, let us stand firm in our trust in God's promises. Let us encourage one another, lifting each other up in prayer and support, knowing that through Christ, we can weather any storm. As we gather in Miami, let us renew our commitment to abide in Him, finding hope and courage in His unfailing love.
