In a world of evidence and atonement, heavily marked by the reversal of values, trying to do right can be a painful process. The young who do not attend certain places it deems inappropriate for their moral is "punished" by exclusion of the class to which he so wanted to belong. The honest worker sees fellow cheerleaders were promoted over him. The list of such situations is infinite.   

 

                        So many people face a dilemma: do certain things and attend certain places, like it or not because I think that is right, but to gain approval from others and not feel alone and neglected.

 

                        If this is your case, consider Together: the approval of who you really need? What will bring you peaceful sleep, the acceptance at his middle school class or consciousness light? What is best for their future behavior toward the better or how to behave would be considered "normal" or "popular"?

 

                        When it comes to temptation to do something - honest or dishonest - only to feel included, please remember that we must seek the approval is of God. It is our Christian duty to respect the choices of others, since each one has their own path to follow, but we do not need to imitate them.

 

                        Problems at school or employment and other similar situations are fleeting; our spiritual accomplishments, no. They are permanent and will accompany us on arrival at the True Life. Whatever the difficulty, do not be discouraged, and do acting in the Well: God supports and protects. Never fear.   

 

"Enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate of perdition and the way that leads to it, and there are many who enter through it. - How small is the gate of life! How narrow is the path that leads to it! And how few find it! (S. Matthew, ch. VII, vv. 13:14.) ".

 

 

                        See you soon! A blessed week everyone!
