The demanding love of God ...

When you come upon your enemy’s ox or donkey going astray, you shall bring it back.
(Exodus 23:4).

God is One who demands a lot from me. Exodus 23:1-9 is but a small illustration of God's demands. In my own setting, God calls me to love, to treat, my enemies (including those who make me ill) as if they are my best friends. To do so helps me to recall that irregardless of my actions God has always loved me.

Perhaps it will help you as well to love the unlovable by remembering that God has always, and will always, love you.
