Thirteen - Edition #11

2nd Corinthians 6:13
As a fair exchange—I speak as to my children—open wide your hearts also.

I hadn't thought of this before, but this scripture makes it seem as if Paul did have children. The whole "I speak as to MY children" implies as though he had children, which would have made him married. I guess he could have meant it metaphorically, but it's difficult to say one way or another. Anyway, open wide your hearts... that is what I am going to actually focus on today. I think I should first off rephrase it to make it personal. Open wide my heart.

Open Wide Your Heart (verb)
platunō (pronounced: plat-oo'-no)

• To widen (literally or figuratively): make broad, enlarge.
• To make broad, enlarge.
• Be enlarged in heart, i.e. to welcome and embrace you in love.

And that is it. Instead of thinking... open wide my heart, I should take the perspective of enlarging my heart. Think of someone who has a "big heart". What does that person's character say about them? It would be generous, giving, thoughtful, caring... those are what come to my mind. How about "out of themself" and joyful? Yeah, I can see that. All great things about a person who has a "big heart". I guess that's all I have for this Saturday. Johnny Out.
