HEART

“The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.” Contemporary Indian-born doctor and writer Deepac Chopra said that.

In the Bible the Apostle Paul is challenging the Corinthians:

He does not only say, “We … opened wide our hearts to you,” but also “we have spoken freely to you,” and “we are not withholding our affection from you.”

He challenges them to open wide their hearts also. First of all he states that they are withholding their affection from him, and then he encourages them as his children to open wide their hearts also “as a fair exchange.”

You find that in Second Corinthians 6:11-13.

“The worst prison is a closed heart,” was sent to me some time ago by email. I don’t know if it has been used as yet as a church sign.
