Shepherds are appointed by God because he has filled them with devotion to the sheep and gifted them to see dangers that others cannot see. Driven by love and awareness of the danger, they become so fiercely protective that they would rather die than see their beloved hurt. In the words of Jesus, The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep (John 10:11). Ironically, the more loving a true shepherd is, the fiercer he becomes in his efforts to protect and the more unloving he could be mistaken as being, especially by those who cannot perceive the danger. In the same way, many manifestations of divine compassion in Scripture are often mistaken for harshness.

So I long to give the benefit of the doubt to those who appall me by the ruthless way they attack truths I cherish, and maul people I treasure. Throbbing in the hearts of these attackers might be more love than I can imagine.
