Here we present each attribute from one to sixteen, each one a pearl of great understanding – the Heartbeat of JESUS.
An example of this deep study and reflection,
- of the Attribute’s Keen Definitions to ask, “Am I long suffering – patient, endure, persevere? Do I cease to retaliate; Am I slow to anger?”
- of the Psalm Verses – prayerful in Charity.
- of the Parable: is this Me?
- of the Greatness of Jesus’ own WORDS: Hear, O man and woman, verily, He speaks!
Each part taken together: I can feel his heart.
CHARITY SUFFERETH LONG
To have charity is to be patient, to endure and to persevere without retaliation. It is to be slow to anger.
CHARITY IS KIND
Charity is to show oneself useful, pleasant, and good; to act virtuously and benevolently.
CHARITY ENVIETH NOT
To have charity is to be content and satisfied. To not covet nor be consumed by one’s desire or lust which leads to hate and murder.
CHARITY VAUNTETH NOT ITSELF
Charity is to be humble and meek but not boastful or a braggart. It does not speak of oneself in pride.
CHARITY IS NOT PUFFED UP
Charity is to be abased and lowly. It is not inflated or made proud, not haughty or puffed up. Charity does not have a false sense of one’s own authority.
CHARITY DOTH NOT BEHAVE UNSEEMLY
To have Charity is to act courteously, with wisdom. It is to be respectable, appropriate and refined.
CHARITY SEEKETH NOT HER OWN
Charity is to have selflessness, devotion and empathy. It is sacrifice for the sake of others and giving without expectation.
CHARITY IS NOT EASILY PROVOKED
To have Charity is to be slow to anger
and enduring peaceably.
CHARITY THINKETH NO EVIL
In Charity we have only holy, clean and honorable thoughts
with pure intentions.
CHARITY REJOICETH NOT IN INIQUITY
In Charity we do not
celebrate unrighteousness.
CHARITY REJOICETH IN THE TRUTH
Living in Charity is to openly delight, take great joy in
and celebrate the Truth of God.
CHARITY BEARETH ALL THINGS
Charity covers and suffers for others.
It supports, carries, wears, keeps and sustains.
CHARITY BELIEVETH ALL THINGS
In Charity we have faith, we trust, we are true and honest, and we have strength. We believe in God’s existence as a fact and are willing to commit our life to Him.
CHARITY HOPETH ALL THINGS
In Charity we have the sure expectation
of all the promises of God.
CHARITY ENDURETH ALL THINGS
To have Charity is to remain, bear trials, have fortitude,
persevere, be patient and still.
CHARITY NEVER FAILETH
Just as The Father holds unerringly, Jesus’ blood never loses its power and The Holy Ghost guides into all truth, so Charity in us never fails.
It is our belief that the Father, in truth and by the leading of the Holy Ghost, has granted to our faithful Church one of the greatest revelations on Charity ever given,
To start, the 128 verse Psalm of Charity composed by 16 teams independent of each other; then, the researched but easy-to-understand definitions of Charity’s attributes; followed by inspired modern and visual parables (stories); then, Jesus’ words in the beauty of red. Then, so many songs: new!
ABBA, FATHER

AND FINALLY,
Ephesians 3:17-19
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
