"Yes! That's what she gets. I'm so glad something bad finally happened to her!" Is this you after you hear about an enemy of yours suffering some trouble or a setback? If so, you know you are dead wrong. You're not alone though. This person right here used to be me. I couldn't wait for something bad to happen to someone who had been rude to me or done me wrong for so long. I would just patiently wait for them to finally get their due; PAYBACK! But I have learned that rejoicing in someone else's downfalls is nothing but that evil spirit just sneaking up on me once again.
On day 10 of the challenge, we are reminded that LOVE DOESN'T DELIGHT IN EVIL. Love is not happy when we rejoice in the downfalls of our enemies. I know payback feels good sometimes, especially when we didn't have to orchestrate it, but true love does not take delight in the pain of another person. I know this is not an easy task, but really try not to delight in the downfalls of our enemies, instead, leave room for something good to happen, even for them! Besides, someone is always watching, and you don't need Karma knocking on your door! Don't let that evil spirit sneak up on you.
Keep your heart clean with me today, and remember that love doesn't delight in evil. Check in tomorrow for day 11 of the Love Challenge!
