Pure love of Christ : Charity

Charity is one of the things that I've been thinking about a lot lately. What charity means to me is that we show this Christ-like atribute to people and that we can pass it along.  Mormon teaches us in the scriptures that charity is the "pure love of Christ."  Thomas S. Monson states, "I consider charity or the pure love of Christ to be the opposite of criticism and judging."  Charity compels us to be sympathetic, compassionate, and merciful, not only in times of sickness, affliction, and distress, but also in times of weakness and error on the part of others. When I have charity, people can see it in me and I can be a example to members and those who don't belong to the LDS church, and when they see me they try to be an example to their friends and family and try to pass that pure love of Christ along just like service. When we are tolerant of others, and lenient towards their actions, the kind of charity that forgives, and the kind of charity that is patient. Charity is having patience with someone that has let you down. Moroni teaches us in the scriptures in Moroni 7:48, "And charity suffereth long, and is kind and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is eviil, and rejoiceth not in iniquity but rejoceth in the truth, beareath all things hopeth all things, endureth all things."
