Sick With Disgust

Today.... My stomach and my heart hurt with disgust! I got on FB and MSN News when I got back from spending the day out with the family and see story after story about messed up people in the world today. I saw three stories about children under the age of 14 getting plastic surgery done on them because they were so brutally bullied. I saw a bus supervisor in Greece reduced to tears because of what the kids on the bus were calling her and yelling at her. I saw a 6 month old baby being beaten by it's OWN MOTHER! I watched the first two seconds of the video, went straight into the bathroom and proceeded to vomit from what I had seen.

It's been said time and time again that "We are the chosen generation of people" We were the ones who were saved for these times because we are stronger than the rest and our strength would be needed now more than ever to defeat the adversary. Quite frankly, I don't know why I was saved for this time! I look around and see nothing but a world full of violence, hatred, discrimination, crime, selfishness, disrespect and greed. There are very few things in this world that are pure and lovely and wonderful to have around! I am so thankful for a loving family, amazing friends and the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life today. With everything that is going on around me, I know that I have those three things to fall back on to keep me safe and protected from Satan's evil grasp, because let's face it, he's doing an INCREDIBLE job at corrupting this Earth and it's inhabitants! 

As it says in Helaman 5:12

               "And now, my sons, remember, remember that it us upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whilrwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

Luckily, all those people that I mentioned earlier; the bullies, the abusers, the teasers, the criminals, and the liars, will all be judged based on their own actions and how they lived their life. They will be judged according to their works and their faith and how many souls they brought unto Christ. I don't know about you guys, but I definitely would be SO ASHAMED of myself, that I wouldn't even be able to stand in the presence of my Heavenly Father and my brother Jesus, knowing that I had done those tings to his children and my fellow brothers/sisters. It just breaks my heart and I pray for all those I love that they can stay strong in these last days so we can all be welcomed into the celestial kingdom with loving, open arms! :)

Until Next Time, "My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous."
