Throughout the year, we love asking students to share about their faith and their BYU experience—whether on a Christmas tree ornament or a sticky note. Here’s what some of them had to say.
Christmas: Testimonies of the Savior
"Jesus is my refuge from life’s storms."
"He is my best friend! He can get me through anything."
"Christ is the Healer. When you’re hurting, find His mercy and He will fix every piece of your heart."
"Christ sees me for who I am and who I can become, and He helps me get there too."
"Jesus is my constant during the unknown."
"He was born for us, lived for us, and died for us. He continues to save me every day."
"The Savior has literally saved my life. I owe Him everything."
"I know with Him I have no need to fear."
"Jesus loves me even if I fail."
"Christ is always the answer."
"Jesus unlocks the impossible."
Easter: Holy Week Thoughts
