I used to be really cheeky to Jesus Christ before I ever believed in him. I used to say bad things about Jesus, and I used to make trouble for anybody that believed in Jesus.

He let me turn around and join up with Jesus Christ, and now Jesus helps me to trust God, and he helps me to love everybody.
