2 Corinthians 12:15

‘And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?'

And he is happy that it should be so. He is delighted to spend himself, until he is absolutely spent, for them. (The play on words is also there in the Greek). He will hold nothing back. He will gladly give of himself, of his time, of his energy, of his affection, of his reputation and, if need be, of his health. He loves them abundantly. Will they then respond to his abundant love with something less?
