Doing What Is Right

Doing what is right is not always easy.. In some cases it can even be difficult to do what is right. Elder Russell M. Nelson has said that "even if everybody is doing it, wrong is never right". I love how simply put this is. It can be so very hard not to give into temptation that surrounds you everyday, especially if you are the only one not participating in it... But as Elder Nelson said, "wrong is never right"... even in the case where you're standing alone. In October 1988, Sister Ardeth G. Kapp gave a talk called "Stand for Truth and Righteousness" and in it she says that,  "Once you make your decision to do what is right, you don't have to fight the battle with every temptation that presents itself everyday. You simply take a stand and say to yourself, 'I will do this; I won't do that' and Satan will have to turn elsewhere to find his followers". I know that if we tell ourselves today that we will do what is right, when temptation comes it will not even be a question to us on what to do. I hope that we can all stand for truth and righteousness and always do what is right, even if what's right isn't popular. :-)
