One has a glimpse of a country where they do not talk of such things (all the duties, rules, guilt, virtues of mortality), except perhaps as a joke. Every one there is filled full with what we should call goodness as a mirror is filled with light. But they do not call it goodness. They do not call it anything. They are not thinking of it. They are too busy looking at the source from which it comes.

Charity manifests itself when we are tolerant of others and lenient toward their actions, charity forgives, charity is patient.
Charity impels us to be sympathetic, compassionate, and merciful, not only in times of sickness and affliction and distress but also in times of weakness or error on the part of others.
Charity gives attention to those who are unnoticed, hope to those who are discouraged, aid to those who are afflicted. True charity is love in action.

Charity is having patience with someone who has let us down. It is resisting the impulse to become offended easily. It is accepting weaknesses and shortcomings. It is accepting people as they truly are. It is looking beyond physical appearances to attributes that will not dim through time. It is resisting the impulse to categorize others.

“Charity is not developed entirely by our own power, even though our faithfulness is a necessary qualification to receive it. Rather, charity is 'bestowed’ upon the true followers of Christ (Moroni 7:48). The purpose of the endowment of charity is not merely to cause Christ’s followers to engage in charitable acts towards others, desirable as that is. The ultimate purpose is to transform HIS followers to BECOME LIKE HIM.”
