The World Would Love His Own.

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
John 15: 9-22

In my institute class for the past couple of classes we've been talking about excuses of why people refuse to change. (Or why they refuse to repent.)
I went into the scriptures and searched in the Topical Guide "Worldliness" 
And I found this scripture block. -Well not all of it, just one verse, but I thought the rest were cool and applicable.-

They just seemed to catch a cord with me, but I'm not sure what.
Mostly my idea is "Who do you fear more?"
 "Who do you want to accept you more?" 
 "What relationships should you work to stay strong, and which ones should you just let go because they're dragging you back?"
"What is important to your continue well being?"

Often times people complain that 'life is hard, that life isn't fair, that they're having an off game"
I think the scripture above says both why you might have being going through a hard time and what you need to do to help you get through the hard time.

First, You are not of the world. You are a spirit of god. The world doesn't like that. Infact the World hates that and tries to tear the spiritualness into many little pieces.
Second, you need friends. You need to reach out to the world around you, and let people reach out to you.
Third, love is a mightier power then any anger or hate. (Just read Harry Potter ;) )

So you need to find Good to balance out the evil that the world is trying to shove down your throat to make you like any other lost soul.

Ye are my friends. You have been chosen. The world hates you for following this chosen path. But stay on the path. And you will become content/happy.

Until you next see these words;
I'll be watching the leaves.
Enjoy the day!
