Whew.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. -2 Corinthians 1:3-4

If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you, to some extent-- not to put it too severely. the punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient for him. Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. The reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven-- if there was anything to forgive-- I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. -2 Corinthians 2:5-11



To be honest, I'm not really sure what I am supposed to be doing with these verses. But I know the Lord has put them on my heart for a reason. Because as much as I keep wanting to put them in the back of my mind, they just keep coming up. I am praying that God would give me a clear vision, show me how to use these verses, and what needs to be my next plan of action.
