thinking I will go to heaven and see everyone I've ever loved and stay
there for eternity.

GROW Model | We Need The Holy Spirit: He Will Guide Us

Life is full of decisions, and not every path is clear. The Holy Spirit guides us into truth (John 16:13) and leads us in practical steps. Without His direction, we risk walking by sight rather than faith. With Him, even the wilderness becomes a place of purpose.
