This past year has been hard for me, with Covid going on and not being able to see friends or family hits differently. I slowly started to drift away from God because I was mad, and confused because of what was happening in the world. But then I realized that God loves me. I started going to youth and it has changed my life.

God has a plan for me and it’s giving me hope. Life might not always be easy, it’s gonna be challenging at times too, but I trust in the Lord who can guide me through all the hard and beautiful times. God wanted me to share this verse “For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” This verse taught me a really positive lesson. God has a plan for us and that’s to believe in him through everything. It might be hard at times but we have to stay strong for our friends, family and even God. Jesus saved us. He died on the cross for our sins to be forgiven. God will always love you even if you make a mistake. Nothing in this world can stop Jesus from loving us.

God made a huge impact onto my life and I’m so proud that I have Jesus in my life to always listen to me when I need to pray or worship Him.
