Because of Him

If you're LDS and have been on any kind of social media in the last week or so, there's a very good chance that you've seen #BecauseofHim. That all was spurred by a video put out by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints a little over a week ago, and if you'd like to watch it (which I highly recommend that you do) then here it is:
Many of my friends on Facebook over the course of the last week have been posting statuses and various things relating to this video. I'm not going to go into detail as to who said what, but here is a great selection of what I've been seeing:

Because of Him, I can feel peace every single day of my life.
Because of Him, we can change if we need to, we can be helped if we truly want it, we can be made whole, whatever the problems of the past.
Because of Him, I know that however much I screw up, nothing is so bad that I can’t be helped.
Because of Him, I always have a friend who I can count on to listen to me.
Because of Him, my pains are lessened, my burdens are made lighter.
Because of Him, I get to see my Dad again.
Because of Him, I get to be with my friends again.
Because of Him, I know that blessings will come. Maybe not today and maybe not tomorrow but they will come.
Because of Him, I know my prayers are answered!
Because of Him, there are always second chances.
Because of Him, my family has been blessed with a father and a mother who have taught us that, no matter how broken things may seem, there will always be hope for happiness.
Because of Him, I can start again and again.
Because of Him, I can get answers to prayers.
Because of Him, I have a deeper appreciation for my life and my friends! There is no better teacher for unconditional gratitude and love than our brother Jesus Christ.
Because of Him, death is conquered and all humankind will also one day resurrect! And, because of his Atonement, we can be completely forgiven of our sins and imperfections and return to live with Him!
It is only because of Him that I am who I am and where I am today. Without Him I wouldn't be anything worthwhile.
Because of Him, no goodbye has to last forever.
Because of Him, I can always smile, no matter what.
Because of Him, I have peace in my life.
Because of Him, I can live with them forever! I'm so grateful for my savior who is there for me always and always lifts me up!
Because of Him, I do not have to live with my grief forever.
Because of Him, I am inspired!
Because of Him, we can start again.
Because of Him, I can have new beginnings. Because of Him I will always have someone to turn to.
Because of Him, I live in this beautiful world.
Because of Him, when we fall we can begin again and again! Because of him we have our family, nice bodies, good friends and the most important thing, we have the gospel!
Because of Him, I can be better, I find happiness each day. I have my family and friends. I have peace in the future and know that I will live again after death with my family. Because of Him I am who I am today and know I can be better everyday.
Because of Him, I am whole again. Because of him I have seen redemption. Because of him I have seen healing. Because of him I can look in the mirror and know without a shadow of a doubt that I am loved. Even in the darkest of times. Because of him I have been forgiven. Because of him you can too.
Because of Him, I have hope that my life will be one filled with happiness and true joy.

Because of Him, I am happy.
