This week I would like to talk about Charity.
In Moroni 7:45-47 We read:
45 And charity suffereth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
46 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail--
47 But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
I have learned that REAL Charity is 3 things:
The PURE love of Christ that WE exhibit.
The pure love of CHRIST that we have for Our savior.
and the Pure love OF Christ that he has for us.
We need to have all 3 if we truly want to have Charity. ANd just as important as it is to give love it is also important to recieve love. This is the biggest thing I have learned this week as I prepare to go home. It is important to let others love us. I testify that Learning how to recieve love will make us humble and forgiving people. It will make us strong in our relationships with Others and relationships with Christ.
Allow Christ to Love you. Recieve his help. Study the Scriptures, Say your prayers. Pur out your hearts to him asking for the things you need and thanking for the things you have. This kind of love will endure all things. It will lead us and guide us to become like him.
May we all Love as The Savior Jesus Christ has before us. With our whole hearts.
I love every one of you.
