2 Corinthians 2

Paul has made two journeys to Corinth and will make a third. Evidently the last one he made was difficult because he says it caused him much heaviness. Perhaps it's because someone had received church punishment. Maybe it was given by him and he is sorrowing for that person. Now he is telling everyone they must forgive that person and love them. It's the same instruction we have received in our day in the D&C: "My disciples, in old days, sought occasion against one another and forgave not one another in their hearts; and for this evil they were afflicted and sorely chastened. Wherefore, I say unto you, that ye ought to forgive one another; for he that forgiveth not not his brother his trespasses standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin. I, the Lord, will forgive whom I forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men." D&C 64:8-10

I like verses 14 and 15. God does not fail. He is the almighty and he will cause us to ultimately triumph. He didn't created us to see us lost or to see us fail. If he was willing to let his Son die for us, he's certainly willing to do whatever it takes to not only see us successful in all things here, but save us and eventually exalt us.

We are unto him a sweet savour. When something is savored, it is enjoyed completely, like I savour ice cream. That he finds this joy in each of us is a thought we should consider often and deeply.
