Tough (Tender) Love

John Donne wrote, "Batter my heart, three person'd God."  A battering ram is a strange metaphor for God. But it is indeed a good metaphor for the One who will stop at nothing to break down our defenses and finally get at us.

The term we have for this is "tough love", which when it comes from God is more tender than we can ever imagine.
