Essential qualities to display when caring for others in Christian love

This week you will likely relate to someone who is hurting in one way or another.  Below, Dave Powlison recalls qualities he observed in John Frame – – and certainly qualities we should display.

I arrived at WTS having been a believer for less than a year.  [John Frame]was a model to a neophyte Christian.  His manner bore the mark of Christ’s goodness to him—good cheer, humility, kindness, curiosity, pervading confidence in the truth, the essential optimism of a man with a living hope.  No surprise, the embodiment of those same graces is of essential significance in doing pastoral care.  (Page 762 of Speaking the Truth in Love).
