Leo the Great first articulated the “hypostatic union.” Here he considers our love towards God, and our desires to achieve a perfected love towards God. It must include love towards the neighbor, and extend to all people, whether foe or ally, slave or free, good or bad. God is bountiful to all, kind to all.
Do some argue against giving to those who are not allies?
How can you perfect godly love?

Charles Spurgeon, particular Baptist preacher, on the Jubilee release of debts. The debtors would experience joy, as well as the creditors!
Some would bristle at (monetary) debt relief— no lightness of heart for you! — insisting these passages are now only spiritual analogies for us. (But then they’d object even more strongly to announcing a blanket forgiveness of our spiritual debts).
How can you give lightness of heart (or soul!) today?
