The defining character of Jesus Christ, and the essence of his Gospel, is charity. But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him. Each day, Christ demonstrated pure love to others through his words and actions. In doing so, he helped others come to know the Father. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. The ultimate demonstration of Christ's pure love is his infinite atonement. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. For my love to have meaning, it must take action. Elder Dallin H. Oaks taught, "Love is meaningless unless it is directed toward something or someone. We love our parents. We love our brothers and sisters. We love the Lord" (https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1994/04/faith-in-the-lord-jesus-christ).
My communications with those I love should be filled with honesty, transparency, clarity, and humor. I know that as I take time to demonstrate my love for others, my life is filled with joy and I can better feel God and Christ's love for me.
