Hebrews Chapter 11, 1 Corinthians Chapter 13, Moroni Chapter 7 and Ether Chapter 12
Faith, hope and charity are the sisters three,
all are related and connected in ways that we need to better understand, employ and see.
Faith is that belief in God that leads to righteous actions, where Godly work takes place,
a way that miracles can be wrought through the Son, the Christ, the prince of peace.
Because of our faith, God can reveal himself to us - (Enos)
to know of his love, his character, his grace and become his witness.
The trial of our faith can bring the most unexpected blessings and miracles, (Ether12:12)
where the possible can come from something totally inexplicable.
By faith we can be partakers of the heavenly gift of His Son, (Ether 12:8)
the gift where healing, redemption and salvation can come.
In this gift He has prepared a more excellent way - (Ether 12:11)
the path of light, of life, of truth as clear as a brilliant day.
By faith are all these things fulfilled - we can hope for things we cannot see, (Ether 12:6)
without hope man cannot glimpse his mansion on high or fulfill his eternal destiny. (Ether 12:32)
We know that faith produces miracles, not the other way around, (Ether 12:16)
miracles rarely create sustainable (endurable) faith where spiritual substance is found.
Hope gives us something to cling to when all seems lost,
the persistence to not give up, whatever the obstacle or cost.
Charity is the greatest sibling of all - without it we are all adrift,
it is the pure love of Christ that enables us to impart to others (share) His gifts.
Charity is the end result of our acts of faith, hope and accompanying heavenly wonders,
whereby the blessings of God are extended for the welfare of others.
Only the meek and lowly in heart can obtain the heavenly prize
of faith, hope and charity - the three companions that empower our spirits to rise. (Moroni 7:43) (Ether 12:27)
We have the promise that charity can be ours, (within our daily reach)
with heartfelt (energetic) prayer, it can be bestowed upon all His true followers. (Moroni 7:48)
Faith, hope and charity come from the fountain of all righteousness,
they witness that God is the source of all blessings, grace and goodness.
These three sisters cannot abide without each other, they are incomplete when alone,
together they allow every man and woman to return to their heavenly home.
Our hope is to become like Him, to see him as He is, to make our election sure,
to become his sons and daughters and purified, even as He is pure.
Thus, we can see that all are benefited by the Sisters Three,
of which the greatest is the sister called charity. (1 Corinthian 13:13) flourish, prosper, thrive
