It is everlasting love

 

 

Charity never faileth

 

1 Corinthians 13:8

 

 

It’s thrilling when scriptures use strong words like never, always, first, last and best.  Imagine how much weaker this phrase would be if it read, “Charity hardly ever faileth,” or “There’s a really good chance charity won’t fail.” Elder Bruce R. McConkie used strong words like most and above all when he commented on this verse: “Above all the attributes of godliness and perfection, charity is the one most devoutly to be desired. Charity is more than love, far more, it is everlasting love, perfect love, the pure love of Christ which endureth forever.”  Since charity never fails, we should always strive to have it. Thomas S. Monson used strong words like enduring….motto, this timeless truth, guide you in everything you do. May it permeate your very souls and find expression in all your thoughts and actions.”

"One of the unfailing facts of mortal life is the recurring presence of trouble...When these difficult days and nights! Come and they will it will help us to remember that 'it must needs be,' that in the grand councils of heaven before the world was, we agreed to such a time of challenge and refinement. We were taught then that facing, resolving, and enduring troublesome times was the price we would pay for progress.

 And we were committed to progress eternally."

“My heart is subdued when I think of the great love of my Heavenly Father. How grateful I am to know that God loves us. The incomprehensible depth of that love found expression in the gift of His Only Begotten Son to come into the world to bring hope into our hearts, to bring kindness and courtesy into our relationships, and above all to save us from our sins and guide us on the way that leads to eternal life.”

A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God

that a man has to seek Him just to find her.
