Standing With Moroni

This is what I wrote during my 15 minutes of standing with Moroni. I felt the Spirit strongly as I was writing it and thought it would be good to share:

I know that I've been made fun of or treated differently for many things including my religion, but no one has tried to kill me. I've been threatened, but it was about as empty as a class room during Christmas break. Anyway, it bugs me for the most part but I've always felt good knowing that it's all been for the sake of Jesus, so I learn to not care. In fact, I'm pretty sure I enjoy it. That's right. I enjoy being hated for Christ. I feel a good sense of fulfillment when I have my beliefs and am willing to sacrifice hopefully anything to stand by it. I wonder if Moroni felt that way. No, I'm sure he did. Despite the fact that his family and his people have all been killed and he himself is being hunted down, I know that he was confident that as long as he stayed faithful in Christ, he would have him on his side until the Lord saw fit to take him back. This had to have caused a consoling joy to well within him. I can't imagine denying my Savior and I strive to make sure I never ever do so, because that would be one sad moment in time. I would probably cry myself to sleep every night knowing how disappointed my Savior would be. I would feel so terrible knowing that I have taken back everything I have ever lived or stood up for and denying the one person who would have always been by my side no matter what. And this simply because I was worried about what the world thought. That is what causes me to be as I am and make my beliefs my top priority in spite of what the world thinks.
