Our Future and the Future of the Whole World

We must never lose faith that God's plan will last forever and never be destroyed. We have to focus on putting God first no matter what happens in our life. This is one of the reasons God gave us the Holy Days, so that we have a reminder of how important He is to us and how much we need His help.
