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. Moroni 7:47
Often when people talk about charity, they describe things that you do. To me charity isn't what you do; it is how you feel. It is feeling the pure love that Christ has for each of us. Feeling that love for someone makes you patient. It makes you kind. It makes you generous. You just can't help it. When you are motivated by the pure love of Christ, you treat others the way Christ would because you see them as Christ does.
Moroni continues with this exhortation. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen. Moroni 7:48
Amen.
