....And You shall Love Your Neighbor as Yourself.

"If you see the donkey of someone who hates you lying under a burden, and you would refrain from helping it, you shall surely help him with it."
Exodus-23:5
 
Here we see God teaching His people for the first time that grace which isn't so common. He says, "and you would refrain from helping," meaning in your flesh and left to yourself you wouldn't have gone to help him. But praise be to God that with His spirit and His grace in us, "you shall surely help him with it." You, as My people, will show that uncommon grace. You will reflect Me, glorify Me, you will find true joy in those thing you wouldn't normally do.
