On my mission I gave a spiritual message about charity almost every day at our dinner appointments for about three months straight. The true aspects of charity are something that has been my main goal in life in becoming the person the savior wants me to be.
"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."
"seeketh not her own" is probably the hardest aspect of charity to learn how do we learn to put our own feelings and desires to the back seat and focus and give to others what they need instead? We all were born completely dependant on our mothers and fathers. How does one learn to put their own needs in the backseat and become ready for marriage and more importantly how do we learn how to be unselfish before we bring children into this world? I've learned though all the trails of my life that its always easier if I think about others and what I can do to be kind and not envious of others lives. I want charity more than anything my goal in life is to live up to this definition and live a life worth living. My life is only worth living if I am living it for others.
