Today we read 2 Corinthians 7. Paul shares the ups and downs of ministry and his great joy in hearing that the Corinthians’ faith in Christ was solid again. We Christians are often guilty of hoarding Christ’s great love, rather than making room in our hearts for others (see verse 2). God has loved us with an everlasting love through Jesus Christ. To open up our hearts to others, to let them know of Christ’s love, is to experience again the joy of that great love of God for all. • Lord, teach us daily how great, how long, how wide, and how deep is Your love for us and for every person in this world. And teach us the joy of seeing others come to faith. Amen.
