It was a usual Sunday at church, except for some reason everything had been pointing in my direction I realized I had made some mistakes.
To begin with, there's a new Young man in our Ward. When you don't know someone it's easy to get caught up in the moment. Not knowing a single thing about that person or their personal life. Judgment takes over...
I thought of every false and negative thing you can think of towards this young boy. And on Sunday of course there he stood before me, he gave a talk on goals. With every word he said, it's as if he opened up like a flower. The flower started to blossom, and I had truly seen the things he was going through. He had a difficulty talking about his family. He had moved here recently from Utah and is going to school down here in Florida. There I was quick to judge him. I regret my actions so badly. The guilt was eating me up as he spoke about how hard it was living away so far from home. He had no choice but to break down. Never did I stop to think that he was alone, miles away from home. I never cut him any slack. I was quick to judge, knowing that it wasn't even my place do so. The atonement of Jesus Christ has offered me the opportunity to repent of my sins, and you bet that right then and there I repented. I felt so guilty I hadn't realized that it must of been really hard for him living so far away from his relatives and loved ones. I am so sorry. It's never too late to restart and to change. So changing my ways begin...
and will continue on from this point.
I'm going to try my best to not judge others and not let a single negative thought spill into the neurons of my brain. If one does happen to get through, I will sprinkle it with only pure and positive thoughts, and maybe just maybe I can be filled with the pure love of my savior Jesus Christ.
