Charity Do unto others even if they never ever do unto you. -Mary Ellen Edmunds It is well to remember that there are broken hearts and wounded souls among us that need the tender care of a brother who has an understanding heart and is kind. -Harold B. Lee When we give our time, our energy, our commitment, our testimony to others, we are giving of ourselves. We are sharing intangibles, not easily left on the doorstep but easily deposited in the heart. -Elaine L. Jack There is an eternal significance to why the Church is just the facilitator for the members in matters of providing for the poor and needy. There are two basic goals accomplished when we fulfill the commandment to care for the poor. The most obvious is the relief of suffering or the lifting of the spirit of the person to whom the service is given. The second is more subtle but is of eternal consequence. It has to do with the sanctification of the giver. President Marion G. Romney said, 'Living the law of consecration exalts the poor and humbles the rich. In the process, both are sanctified. The poor, released from the bondage and humiliating limitations of poverty, are enabled as free men to rise to their full potential, both temporally and spiritually. The rich, by consecration and the imparting of their surplus for the benefit of the poor, not by constraint, but willingly as an act of free will, evidence that charity for their fellowmen characterized by Mormon as `the pure love of Christ.` (Moro. 7:47.) This will bring both the giver and receiver to the common ground on which the Spirit of God can meet them. (Ensign, Nov. 1981, p. 93.) -Glenn L. Pace The nearer we get to our heavenly Father, the more we are disposed to look with compassion on perishing souls; we feel that we want to take them upon our shoulders, and cast their sins behind our backs. -Joseph Smith |
