In 1 Thessalonians 2 Paul wonderfully describes the behavior and hearts of disciples who are teaching others of Christ. We like the way he tells of their love for the people they teach.
"But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us. For ye are our glory and joy." 1 Thessalonians 2: 7, 8, 20
Gentle among you - impart the gospel and our own souls - because we love you.
We had these very feelings when we served as full time missionaries.
