"Never forget that you are a [child] 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 a while. 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. Pray for guidance and protection from the Lord. He will sustain you. He will become a trusted friend, and you will discover that your example will attract many friends who will take courage from your strength of character."
W. Craig Zwick, "We Will Not Yield, We Cannot Yield," Ensign, May 2008, 98
I received this "Daily Gem" today and really liked it, so of course I had to share. I believe that not only will this "attract many friends" it will draw our children closer to us and help them learn to live with integrity and character as well.
