Excellent lesson on CHARITY for Sunday Evening Gospel Doctrine Class. We started in 1 Corinthians 13 and went to Moroni 7. Fill in the blank: Love is ________ and __________. I said: greatest & endureth. The "right" answers were: suffereth long & kind. He gave us time to memorize Moroni 7:45. He gave us situations to decide how it applied. He showed a few videos.
Overall, I could totally see how he (most likely) graduated from the Seminary Teaching Program. But that was not all I gathered from him.
I renewed my desire for charity within myself! When I was young -- under the age of 14 -- this was literally my favorite verse -- for some reason, I did not even try to pinpoint why, I just simply loved that verse... and now I love it again and want to strive for it again. I want to relive myself of all the anger I felt for my district, by loving them. I want to be happier and brighter person to be around because others will feel love emanate from me. I want to be thought of when someone reads that verse -- at least, for my efforts.
I'm afraid I give myself too much lee-way, too many allowances. "Oh, everyone needs a bad day here & there!" Or whatever... granted, there are going to be tough days but does that mean I can languish in them? NO! I must still try to fight them! I haven't been doing that lately.
I have a question (I just thought of it). Does God love Satan?
Back to charity: I'm going to repent tonight. Repentance is like pooping. Nobody likes to talk about it or have anyone else know they're doing it, but everyone needs to and once they're done they feel much better. It also can only happen after an intake of either food or an experience, and after as much nutrition or learning is squeezed out of what was taken in, and then all the bad stuff is excreted. Is that analogy too disgusting to be shared? I dunno...
Anyways, I have some repenting to do. And hopefully from here I'll fill my clean slate with beautiful stuff! Love, Sister Berry.
