If we are called to love our enemies, isn’t this how we are called to act? If God is love, then this is the nature of God. Isn’t this the way God works with us, wearying out all in us that is of a nature contrary to God? Faithfulness requires that we proceed in in the manner of love. If I am to be faithful it means I have to do more listening and less talking. It means I have to listen deeply and not just so that I can formulate the perfect response.
