Charity Traits

The Pure Love of Christ
Charity Traits
(Moroni 7:45)

suffereth long
kind
envieth not
not puffed up
seeketh not her own
not easily provoked
thinketh no evil
rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoiceth in truth
beareth all things
believeth all things
hopeth all things
endureth all things
I think we can help each other by Sharing Insights
into which of these traits we might be strong in and
seek for encouragement in those areas we may struggle.
Please refer to the above posts (one for each trait) and
share.  Ever so often I will post a new trait for discussion.
PLEASE, PLEASE SHARE!!!!!!  You can even post anonymous
if you prefer.  Also, if you would like to start the discussion
on another trait, please feel free to do so.

The INTENT -- to help each other!  I know I need all the loving
support and encouragement I can get.  Thanks for sharing! :)

Being Charitable to Ourselves: The cure for gospel guilt

How many of us become daunted or filled with guilt when we think of the long list of things we are "supposed to do?" Then this article is a must read.

PERSONAL THOUGHT QUESTIONS:

Could I be a bit more charitable to myself; a little kinder and more patient?

Are the expectations for myself realistic?

Am I choosing from the "BEST" things in a "Good" and "Better" world?

Am I moving towards Christ; desiring to do more (having a charitable heart) to serve Him?
