When I was about five, I gave my heart to Jesus Christ, and since then it's just been a stronghold in my life.

It's easy to look at the things of this world to solve our challenges and obstacles in life, but when we submit our lives to Christ, His grace, mercy, peace and love will bring true fulfillment to our lives.
