In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, "you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you." What a difference it makes to know that Jesus is present within us! Ours is a God who loves us, understands us, and wants to help us. And he doesn't do this from a far distance, he is more present to us than we are to ourselves. With him present in our soul, we need never be alone.
