Charity is the pure love of Christ. Moroni's father, Mormon, twice declared, "If ye have not charity, ye are nothing." No matter how articulate you are, how well you prepare, and how talented you are in relating to youth, without the pure love of Christ, you will not succeed. As your soul is filled with the pure love of Christ, your spiritual gifts are magnified and you are better able to reach your students. Christ is our example, and we follow Him. We seek to love God and others as He did. He loved them, prayed for them, and continually served them. He found opportunities to be with them and to express His love. He knew their interests, hopes, and desires, and what was happening in their lives. He knew who they were and who they could become. He found unique ways to help them learn and grow, ways meant just for them. When they struggled, He did not give up on them but continued to love them and minister to them.
