Attribute 9: Genuinely caring for people

The Apostle Paul reminds us in his 2nd letter to the church in Corinth that God “comforts us in all of our troubles.” He brings healing into our lives and through Christ and others as they provide comfort, encouragement and support to us. We comfort others with the same comfort we’ve received from God. We genuinely care for others as we allow God to work through us to bring his comfort, encouragement and support into their life (2 Cor. 1:3-7).

Sooner or later we all experience something that leaves us hurting in ways we could not previously imagine.  We can receive an abundance of comfort, encouragement and support from others.  As Ambassadors for Christ we desire to live lives full of love and compassion, offering comfort, encouragement and support to those who need a caring touch from our compassionate Lord as much as we did.
