Don'T Rejoice When Your Enemies Falls - Proverbs 24: 17
Jesus made it clear to love one another
but sometimes this can be very hard
only when the holy spirit enables you
to love your enemies like no other
We need also not to rejoice
when we see these enemies fall
be sure never to wish for bad
things too that they won't stall
Remember the words of the Lord Jesus
to love our enemies doing them good
if they have a need you must meet it
no matter how you feel even in a mood
Forgiveness is an act you must do
as Peter asked Jesus how often do I
forgive one that offends me so
seventy times seven was His reply
Remember God's great word of command
love God fully with all of your heart
and your neighbour as yourself
this honours God in no small part
("Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,")
Proverbs 24: 17 (esv)
