It was school holidays, but [Erin](3W6PRMS3) felt a little bored. Her friends were away, Mum was busy, and the days felt long and quiet. One morning, [Erin](3W6PRMS3) remembered something Mum had told her gently about Holy Week, and the story lingered in her heart.

[Erin](3W6PRMS3) whispered, 'I wonder where [Jesus](3K36DC6W) is now... It would be lovely if He could talk to me.' Just then, a soft light shone through the window, and [Erin](3W6PRMS3) thought she heard a gentle voice, '[Erin](3W6PRMS3), shall we go for a walk?'

Standing quietly in her garden was a boy dressed in white, with kind, sparkling eyes. [Erin](3W6PRMS3) asked, 'Are you really [Jesus](3K36DC6W)?' He smiled gently, 'I am, and I’d love to go for a stroll with you.' So, hand in hand, they walked toward the little hill behind her house.

The path was filled with wildflowers, birds singing in the trees, and the softest breeze. [Erin](3W6PRMS3) felt like the world was full of new colors as she and [Jesus](3K36DC6W) walked quietly together.

As they walked, [Erin](3W6PRMS3) asked softly, 'Why did people treat you so unkindly?' [Jesus](3K36DC6W) answered, 'They didn’t understand love, so I went to show them.'

'Were you scared when it hurt?' [Erin](3W6PRMS3) asked. 'Yes,' [Jesus](3K36DC6W) said softly. 'But I thought of you, and it gave me courage.' [Erin](3W6PRMS3) felt her heart glowing with love and warmth at His words.

Though the walk wasn’t long, [Erin](3W6PRMS3) felt like it was an adventure richer than anything she had ever known. They reached the end of the path, and [Erin](3W6PRMS3) asked, 'Do I have to walk alone now?'

[Jesus](3K36DC6W) smiled and said, 'You’re never alone, [Erin](3W6PRMS3). I’ll always be beside you—especially in your heart. We can walk together every day, even if no one else sees.'

Suddenly, [Erin](3W6PRMS3) opened her eyes. She was back in her bed. 'Had it been a dream?' she wondered. But there, on her desk, lay a single flower—one she was sure hadn’t been there before.

From that day on, [Erin](3W6PRMS3) went for little walks with [Jesus](3K36DC6W) in her heart. Whether she was happy, sad, or alone, she knew He was with her, walking beside her and guiding her every step.
