"Greet one another with a holy kiss. All God’s people here send their greetings. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
- 2 Corinthians 12:12-14 -

The full restoration that Paul hopes for is not only one where the breech with himself is overcome, but one in which the church community is marked by rejoicing, encouragement, unity of mind and peaceful friendships (v 11). This becomes a possibility for all of us when we participate truly in the grace, love, and fellowship that are ours in the God who is Father, Son, and Spirit.

Prayer: Holy Lord, help me to run the race, to fight the fight, to finish the course, all to your glory.
