2 Corinthians 6:11; Our Heart Is Enlarged

2 Corinthians 6:11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.

The Apostle Paul by the burden of a loving heart speaks to exhort the church in Corinth to love and good works. Poole said well, “This enlargement of my heart is that which openeth my lips, and makes me speak freely to you, both in admonishing you of your errors, and in exhorting you to your duty.”

Thank God for such a man of God willing to impart, by patience and example, the privilege of life with God. What a blessing it is to read such a love letter to the church. A man bearing his soul for the eternal benefit of those whom God brought into his contact.

The Apostle Paul’s is enriched with thanksgiving and self-denial – Psalm 103:2-5 “Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” He imparts the remedy for the healing for his soul for our learning. May it bless our hearts. Amen.
