We Can Do It

Isn't it funny how the more you try to live the gospel and try to be like Christ, the more Satan tries to worm his way into your life? The harder you try, the harder he tries. But it's in those moments, when life seems to be crushing you at all angles, that you must push back hardest. If Satan tries to one up you, go two up on him! Why? Because he can't stand the though of someone as strong as you out in the world. 

It might seem like you are all alone, struggling by yourself. YOU ARE NEVER ALONE! Christ is with you. ALWAYS. Isn't it amazing that we can have the Holy Ghost, a little piece of heavenly guidance, with us at all times? You never have to go a second of your day without knowing that you have Heaven on your side. 

And not only do you have Heaven cheering you on, you have me too! I don't care if I don't know you, or if we've butt heads a few times. I am here if you ever need it! Sometimes we need a little someone to give us a pep talk when we're a little bruised up.

We need to fight back, but we need to fight back in the most loving, patient, Christlike way possible. We need to fight back like the children of royalty we are: with outward love and virtue, but with inward passion and truth. Even princesses have to throw a few punches. 

I read an amazing scripture a little while ago, and it's been stuck in my mind since then. "...And they bore with patience the persecution which was heaped upon them" (Alma 1:25). There isn't a person in this world who doesn't have persecution HEAPED upon them. And there isn't a person in this world who isn't capable of not only persevering, but bearing it with PATIENCE.

So, when life is fighting you hard, keep your  a crown of patience on your head held high, and a sword of truth and light balanced in your hand.
