Jesus told His followers God has a plan to always be with people who believe and trust Him as their Savior. He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell with us.

You were created to live in a relationship with God and share His love with others, He is waiting for you to reach out to Him. Walking in the footsteps of Jesus produces joy. He provides the light to the path. We just have to walk it, one step at a time.
