// I Am Empowered

Many are afraid of not being able to keep up with their commitment to Jesus Christ. They say, “Many times I have made resolutions and I have failed.”

This time it is different. First, because God is not a policeman but a personal Lord who will forgive me every time I fail. Secondly, because as I open my heart to God, his presence and his power come to live within me. The power will help me to overcome temptation and to tell my friends of my new experience.
