Abbreviations not saving in vim

I have created an abbreviations file with the following in my .gvimrc file:

:source ~/autocorrect.vim

If I am working in a new document and try to add an abbreviation or remove it, it works only for the session. But once I have quit vim I lose all my changes. To make these changes permanent I have to edit the autocorrect.vim file directly which defeats the purpose. How can I make these changes global and permanent?
