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)

Gorden, a wonderful poem and reminder of what God expects of us, I had a situation today where a friend who had hurt me recently and we parted ways is having some problems now in her life and I resisted the urge to think she deserves it and wished for her to be happy, I don't want to hang on to any anger _Constance

Thanks Constance, Glad it such a special effect upon you, indeed we're the ones that we hurt by holding on to resentment and anger. Have a blessed day, Gordon
