Is it no wonder the Savior sad that Charity is the greatest of all?
I also call it "magnamity of spirit". Or "largeness of spirit". When we are greater than just our base emotions. This is charity - and few there be that find themselves fully possessed of it. Charity is a gift from God. So we need to seek it out and knock and it will be given to that person that seeks it.
Keeping the Commandments is key to this. If we are not comfortable in our own skin, we cannot cover another with the cloak of charity. Something to think about:

If you have not charity, you are nothing.

ReplyDeletePage 59 Don’t Delay Getting your life in Order
I saw that we must not delay getting our lives in order. The time has come to get our houses in order and prepare for the days ahead. Time is short and we must do all in our power to prepare in every needful way.
I was shown upcoming natural disasters on a scale unlike anything the earth has ever experienced. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis, plagues, droughts, famines, pestilence, and all manner of disease will be upon the earth in such a deep and broadened scale that mankind cannot even imagine what it will be like. The seas will become death traps. The world as we know it will cease to exist.
We must prioritize our relationships with the Lord and with our families, and we must seek to do all we can to prepare temporally and spiritually for the days ahead.
God is warning us ahead of time. If you look in the scriptures, there are patterns we can find. For example, take the story of Lot and his wife. The Lord warned Lot in advance that he was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. They were told not to look back. Lot’s wife did, and was turned into a pillar of salt.
This is a lesson for all of us. We need to have our preparations in order and not hesitate. When it is time to leave, we must not look back.
