What Is Important?

In Ether we all know the scripture of the Lord turning our weaknesses into strengths and without Him we cannot become strong in anything. I love this scripture, but the verses I want to focus on are in Ether Chapter 12 verses 34,36-37 which say:

"34And now I know that this ^alove which thou hast had for the children of men is charity; wherefore, except men shall have charity they cannot inherit that place which thou hast prepared in the mansions of thy Father.36And it came to pass that I prayed unto the Lord that he would give unto the Gentiles ^agrace, that they might have charity. 37And it came to pass that the Lord said unto me: If they have not charity it mattereth not unto thee, thou hast been faithful; wherefore, thy garments shall be made ^aclean. And because thou hast seen thy ^bweakness thou shalt be made strong, even unto the sitting down in the place which I have prepared in the mansions of my Father."

When I read these verses it sort of hit me and being a missionary right now I realized just how important these few words are. We are all always wanting life to be easier (well at least me) and there is always a want for the ones around you to show you charity. But after reading this, it doesn't matter if they have charity to me as long as I show it to them. In this will I be most blessed. We all must have charity and need to show in in every aspect of our lives. After all, this life is the time to prepare to meet God, and what better way is there than using the love that God and Christ have shown us and sharing it with others?
