In pain, we don’t need a lecture. We need someone to be present, to listen, to not have fear, to not be anxious and to care for us while God’s healing agents do their work.
One of the most important healing agents is people. Paul gives us a little insight into that reality.
Paul had a difficult relationship with the people of Corinth. He loved them deeply. And, because of that great love, there was vulnerability and conflict.
2 Corinthians 7:6 (NLT)
But God, who encourages those who are discouraged, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus.
