4. Has a sense of humor. Warning! This doesn’t mean you have to try to be funny if you’re not, just be fun to be around. Be able to laugh and cut up. Have the ability to smile when you can’t pronounce a genealogy from Genesis. Most people are not stand up comics, but don’t worry, you don’t have to be one. Use your natural ability and the type of humor that God gave you.
5. Is sympathetic and empathetic. Basically, sympathy means you feel for someone. Empathy means you feel with someone. Either way it translates into, “I’m here for you.” Use your life experiences to empathize. Use your heart experiences to sympathize.
6. Is concerned about their salvation. Use questions like, “How’s your walk with God?” “What can I be praying about for you?” “Would you like to get together some time, get in the Word, and see how well you’re growing in Christ?”
