Charity and Love!!!

Charity and Love is the Christlike Attribute this week.A man once asked Jesus, “Which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus replied: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself” (Matthew 22:36–39).  Some of my favorite scriptures on Charity are Moroni 7:44-48. I especially like verse 47, it kind of gives a definition of Charity. It says, "Charity is the pure love of Christ." So how can we gain more charity for people? Well in verse 48 it says, "pray unto the Father with all energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love."  As you follow this counsel and strive to do righteous works, your love for all people will increase, especially those among whom you labor. This was one of my favorite songs as a kid. It is "Love One Another"

 

I just want to end with saying that Charity is something we will always be working at. But I know that as we serve our brothers and sisters that we will grow to love them more. And Charity, like faith, leads to action. You will develop charity as you look for opportunities to serve others and give of yourself. I Bare my Testimony that the Church is True and that as we continue to look for ways to serve others that we will become more Charitable and be blessed!
