The right thing is not always easy!

Today I was reading about all the terrible trials that Alma and Amulek went through as they were preaching the Gospel. I don't even like watching violent movies so I can't imagine how horrible it would have been to watch in person as the believers were burned to death and the records destroyed. Amulek was rejected by his family and friends and to top it all off, they were imprisoned where they were beaten and starved. I can't imagine how much faith they had to continue preaching the Gospel among all that opposition. Sometimes I mistakenly think that if something is right, everything will go smoothly and there won't be any serious opposition. The story of Alma and Amulek reminds me that just because something is right does not mean that it will be easy. I hope that I can be strong and valiant in doing what is right, even when it is hard to do.
