Walking closely with God involves being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to guide our actions, words, and decisions. When we walk in step with the Spirit, we are empowered to live in a way that honors God and reflects His love to others.

Like the prodigal, we have all strayed at times, but God, our loving Father, is always ready to welcome us back, to forgive us, and to restore us. He doesn't just forgive—He crowns us with His love and mercy, clothing us in His righteousness and celebrating our return.
