CHARITY AND LOVE IS DIVINE

WHAT THIS CHARITY AND LOVE IS
 

Dear Member,

​

​

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today to talk about the difference between charity and love, two concepts that are often confused and misused. While both charity and love involve caring for others, there are important differences between the two, yet they still go hand in hand together like Father and His Son.

​

Charity is the act of giving to others, whether that be through monetary donations, volunteering, or simply being kind and considerate. It is about reaching out to those in need and showing compassion and understanding. Charity is a selfless act, one that is motivated by a desire to make a positive impact in the lives of others by showing care.

​

Love, on the other hand, is a much deeper and more intimate concept. Love is a bond that exists between two individuals, whether that be between a parent and child, or between our sweetheart, or more importantly, the deeper spiritual connection between you and God. Love is characterized by selflessness, patience, kindness, and forgiveness. It is a choice to prioritize the well-being and happiness of another person over your own.

​

One of the best descriptions of charity can be found in 1 Corinthians 13, where it is described as "patient and kind; charity does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong doing, but rejoices with the truth. Charity bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

​

In conclusion, charity and love are both important and valuable, but they serve different purposes. Charity is about helping and supporting others, and caring about them, which is an external force that brings joy. While love is a bond that exists between individuals, which is an internal force that brings happiness, characterized by selflessness and compassion of the heart.

I hope that this letter has helped to clarify the difference between these two concepts and the importance of both in our lives, for they always go hand in hand together and show you the way for your path and walk in life!

Sincerely,
