"Never forget that you are a son of God. He loves you. Live by your standards. Stand up for what you believe in. Sometimes it is not easy, and you may be standing alone for awhile. Look for friends with integrity and character, then go to them and express appreciation for their examples. You might even find someone who has been feeling as lonely as you."
"It requires courage to make good choices, even when others around us choose differently. As we make righteous choices day by day in little things, the Lord will strengthen us and help us choose the right during more difficult times. The teachings and values we cherish the most are not embraced by a secular world. To maintain a firm stance for ourselves and our children, the message of the restored gospel must be firmly planted in our hearts and taught in our homes."
-Elder Craig Zwick
Of the Seventy
April 2008 General Conference
Sometimes it is hard to feel alone in the world, I think it really helps to remember others feel like they are fighting alone, too. We all need to look for those that are like-minded and cling to their friendship and love. It will make our lives better and happier, as well as blessing others.
Happy Day!
