Tender Loving Care
July 3, 2014
Read: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-7
Max runs a small farm as a hobby. Recently when he checked on the cows he is raising, he was surprised to see a newborn calf! When he bought the cattle, he had no idea one was pregnant. Sadly, the mother cow had complications and died shortly after her calf was born. Immediately, Max purchased some powdered milk so he could feed the calf from a bottle. The calf thinks Im its mother! Max said.
The tender story of Maxs new role with the calf reminded me of how Paul likened himself to a caring mother in dealing with the believers at Thessalonica: We were gentle among you, he said, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children (1 Thess. 2:7).
Paul adopted a nurturing attitude when teaching people. He knew believers needed the milk of the word for spiritual growth (1 Peter 2:2). But he also gave special attention to the concerns of those he cared for. We dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, Paul said, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God (1 Thess. 2:11-12 niv).
As we serve each other, may we serve with the tender loving care of our Savior, encouraging each other in our spiritual journey (Heb. 10:24).
Dear Lord, help me to be sensitive
and caring as I serve others.
Help me to love others tenderly as You
so tenderly love and care for me.
God pours His love into our hearts to flow out to others lives.
Because of the severity of Pauls words in battling false teachings and correcting sinful conduct, he often comes across as devoid of tenderness, gentleness, or compassion (1 Cor. 16:22; Gal. 1:8-9; Phil. 3:2; 2 Tim. 4:14-15; Titus 3:10). But there is a gentle and tender side of Paul that is equally evident in his letters (1 Cor. 2:3; 2 Cor. 10:1; Gal. 6:1; 2 Tim. 2:24-25). In 1 Thessalonians 2:7-8, Paul shows parental qualities such as gentleness and love. In verses 11-12, he encourages and comforts his spiritual children, urging them to live holy lives.
