Do not fear what others have to say.

You have all heard the speeches about staying above the influence of this world, about avoiding all of the negative and sinful temptation that this world has to offer and trying to live a good life (which is also a life lived close to God).  Many people want to live this way, and want to help others live this way as well. So why aren't more people doing so? The answer is quite simple. Many people are simply too worried about what others will think of them if they do the right thing, or try to help someone when they are going down the wrong path. People are too afraid to stand up for their faith, and this may just be the underlying problem in the world. You see, if more people stood up for their faith, for what they believed in there would be allot less problems in the world. However people are afraid that if they speak up the people around them will ridicule them for their faith. This may be true however, words are the only weapons they have. We are the soldiers, we are fighting a war against the evils of this world and God is our commanding officer. We cannot give up fighting this war because of what others think. Our mission is much too valuable  to allow that to happen.  I know how valuable we feel others opinions are, however the most important opinion we need to worry about is that of God our father. So the next time you see someone in need of help, or you find yourself in a situation where you need to let your faith be known. (an example of this was when i was in biology class and we were discussing abortion rights and I let it be known that a was pro life, because of my faith. even though I knew i would be laughed at). Please do not fear the negative opinions of others, instead carry out your mission from God, and surround yourself with like minded people. Go out and carry out your mission with courage, it is after all one of the seven gifts you will be receiving at confirmation.
