4 Ways to Show People You Serve That You Truly Care

Share:

We could probably make a long list of ways to show people we truly care.  In this post, however, we are only going to consider four ways we might not always think about as ways to show we care.

1)  Show them how the Gospel meets their deepest needs.  Notice I said “show” them.  Verbally explain it but also live it out.  Come along side of them in a way that helps them understand the reality of life in Him.

When people see it isn’t just about your agenda, but about them and their needs, then they will get the message that you care.

2)  Use the Bible not only to tell them “about” the Lord but also as a tool to connect them “with” Him.  If having a relationship with the Lord is the most important thing in life, then that should be your ultimate goal even in how you teach/preach God’s Word.

When people see that you aren’t merely trying to indoctrinate them but really want what is best for them, then they will get the message that you care.

3)  Make sure they truly understand what is vital.  Don’t just assume people are getting it.  Ask questions.  Observe.  Listen to what they are saying.

When people see that you are not merely putting in your time but truly want them to learn and grow, then they will get the message that you care.

4)  Be prepared.  Invest time and attention into your ministry efforts, giving people the sense that they are worth it to you.  Being prepared also prevents many problems, thus making it a better experience all around.

When people see that you aren’t just doing enough to simply get by but are giving them your best, then they will get the message that you care.

Do people you serve know that you care?  Is that the message you are communicating?
