Paul speaks here of several emotions that have surfaced due to circumstances that have occurred during the writing of this letter. He speaks of his own troubles as was normally the case during his travels. He speaks of Titus and the joy and comfort that he brought. Titus was comforted by the Corinthians and that in turn gave comfort to Paul.v.8 tells us that Paul while he was regretful that the 1st letter caused some angst he didn't regret sending it - God's truth needs to be told and faced. v10 is the natural and pure way by which we have come to the faith - any other way will not be grounded in Christ. I know that those who do care have taken me aside and have rebuked and encouraged me over the years - for that I am grateful.
I wonder if one (like Paul) can say that they have complete confidence in me... What a statement to make, something to strive for...
Prayers for today: that I may truly rest this week and enjoy the company of my wife without distractions. I also remain steadfast for those who are ill and troubled.
Praise for today: for my traveling mercies and the awesome weather in my home away from home.
