Charity never Faitheth
My husband did our family home evening lesson tonight. He used the Preach the Gospel manual and centered the lesson on Charity. He used the scriptures from my favorite chapter, Moroni chapter 7, verses 45-48, I want to talk about verse 45.
Moroni 7:45
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.
I realized suddenly that this verse is the 13th article of faith and that article of faith is all about charity! Why I had not connected the dots before, I have no idea. As we discussed the various attributes, I wondered what is the difference between beareth, and endureth? There must be a difference for them both to be there and separated by hope. Something for me to ponder, but I would love to know what you think about this concept. Any ideas to help me in this journey of new understanding I would surely love the input.
