Have Faith in Jesus Christ

He is the source of every empowering belief I need to be happy.

He atoned for my sins, so I can make progress

He is God, so he has the power to do all things.

He lives, so He can use that power now, today.

He loves me, so He will use His power on my behalf, or allow me to use it, if I ask.
