Last month I received a letter from my cousin’s son, Ben.
Elder Fisher is serving a mission in Croatia. His message has been on my
mind. He wrote, “I have been thinking a lot about charity, and the other
gifts of the spirit. I have come to the conclusion that it is the greatest gift
of the spirit. It is better than healings, visions, tongues, and protection. In
fact, this gift of the spirit will endure into the eternities. Eventually our
bodies will become perfected, we will all learn and speak the celestial
language, and death, injury, and sickness will no longer have sway upon
humanity. The gifts of healings, tongues, and others will largely become
obsolete. But charity will endure. The gift of loving another is the greatest
of the spiritual gifts. Charity never faileth. -Staresina Fisher”
I
had always wondered why the Apostle Paul mentioned “And now abideth faith,
hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”
(1Cor13:13) Now I understand that faith will be done away by pure
knowledge and hope will be healed by the resurrection, but charity will be
present with us forever and ever. We can ask Heavenly Father to be filled
with this great gift.
