The heart of a pastor, a shepherd, even a parent who cares for you...
Paul is sometimes a bit harsh, a bit blunt -- but he says so out of love. He made sure that he didn't ask for any offering from the Corinthians. He sacrificed his time, energy so that he can come to the Corinthians to deliver this message and win them to Jesus...
Try to imagine Paul's heart. You've poured your energy, your time, your money into a person's life - only to find them deceived by the devil... How would you feel?
This is Paul's heart. This is the heart that we are called to have towards the people we are called to minister to.. whether it be our friends, family - and in the future, our own children.
