"Make room in your hearts for us"
2 Corinthians 7:2
Something about this verse jumped out at me today at KM EMP. Paul's writing this to the Corinthians. Actually a verse later he says to them, "you are in our hearts, to die together and to live together." Definitely we're getting a picture of what being brothers and sisters is all about.
My question: what do you do when brothers and sisters are fighting? What role do I have when the two parties seem so far apart?
And worst of all, it's not the loud, in your face kind of fighting. It's the kind of fighting that simply writes the other person off and puts both parties at opposite corners of the room, hoping not to bump into each other.
Must fight for reconciliation. Until we get to a place where we each have room in our hearts for one another, then we have not reached our destination.
Now what about me? Do I have room in my heart for all? Who are those that are hardest to make room for?
