Showing the love and concern that Christ has for people, can be done in many practical ways. A few ideas are: hospitality, interest in children, generosity in giving, remembering people’s birthdays, messages of interest and encouragement. The main point here is to have a mind for other people and to be looking out for ways of showing love, interest, and concern.
There should be a willingness to not only share the gospel, but also our lives. For me this was powerfully illustrated in the company where my father worked. At one stage, he told us about a new staff member who was making a profound impression on her colleagues through her Christian witness. I asked my dad what it was about her that was having such an effect. He said it was her concern for other people, and how she was always looking for ways of showing kindness and providing help. She truly loved her colleagues and was willing to share with them not only the gospel but her life as well.
7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.
