He is my TRUTH because He is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?

• Before I would say that Jesus was everything to me but there came a point in my life where I found myself alone...literally. Family was in another city/state, and friends were not there. That is when I realized the place Jesus had in my life was not what I preached. In that dark moment is where Jesus truly became my everything; my father, my best friend, my counselor, my healer....my passion. So you ask me now what Jesus means to me and I can honestly, truly and with conviction say that Jesus is my....EVERYTHING. -Naeecha Silva

He has loved me when I felt unlovable and unworthy. And has made me literally feel his love surrounding me in my darkest hour. -Kathy Perez Gonzalez

• Jesus is my breath of fresh air. Many times I get caught up in my daily routines and all of my responsibilites, I’m just thankful for that peace I get when I just stop and breathe. In that deep breath I inhale His peace, His love, the reminder that He placed me where I need to be and I exhale all the stress, feeligns of being overwhelmed and heartache. God breathed life into His creation, Jesus took His final breath on the cross for me. I’m thankful for those deep breaths. –M.F.
