Charity
The Virtue of Charity
 Charity, often referred to as love, is one of the most profound virtues in the Christian faith. It is not an act of giving but a way of living. This love is a reflection of God's love for us and is essential for living a life that is pleasing to Him. |
By practicing charity, we become more like Christ, who is a perfect example of love. By practicing we go through a transformation, and it helps us develop other virtues such as patience, humility and forgiveness.  |
Charity in Our Daily Life
You don't need to be grand, simple acts of kindness go a long way.
Getting creative with our time, talents and resources are key aspects of Charity.
Charity involves forgiveness.
Empathizing with others, offering support and providing comfort.
These are just a few but could have a big impact on another, and through our compassion we can truly connect and share in the burdens of others.
Challenges and Rewards

Challenges One of the biggest obstacles to Charity is selfishness. Overcoming selfishness requires a conscious effort to put others first and to practice selflessness. |
Rewards We keep working toward spiritual growth as we practice even one of these virtues. Growth brings us closer to God and helps us to become more Christ-like. |
|
By letting go of Judgement, we can open our hearts to others and show true Charity. |
My absolute favorite is the Inner Peace God grants you. We experience a sense of joy and satisfaction that cannot be found in material possessions. |
|
It can be hard to prioritize charity over personal gain. True fulfilment comes from giving and serving others, rather than accumulating wealth and possessions. |
Jesus taught that those who love and serve others will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. This is a promise of eternal life. Is it worth the reward? |
