Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth,
and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
Lest the Lord see it, and it displease Him,
and He turn away His wrath from him. Proverbs 24:17-18
Pray for those who persecute you
Pray for those who annoy you
Pray for those you consider hating
Wish them the best
The Lord will hear your heart speaking out
Let those thoughts be good ones
Otherwise, the Lord will not be glad
God does not want us to wish bad upon anyone
He has made it clear we are to forgive and love
even when they do not deserve it
Always
With every person
The Psalmist hated the evil in people
We can too
Let our motives be not to destroy the person but the evil
If those persons choose to cling to the evil, then that is their choice
Right now, Los Angeles is burning to a crisp
There is much evil there
They kill little babies in their mothers’ wombs
They call good evil and evil good
They mock God and they reject His Son
Judgment from God still allows those to call upon Him
That is God’s desire for all mankind, His ultimate hope
For men to receive the gift of His Son and to follow Jesus
God does not want us to rejoice at others’ destruction
Keep your heart pure in Jesus’ sight
He desires for us to love others as we love ourselves
That might mean praying for their salvation
That is what we would want someone to do for us if we did not know the Lord
Our intentions and thoughts the Lord sees, always
Keep them submitted to the Lord
See that none render evil for evil unto any man;
but ever follow that which is good,
both among yourselves, and to all men. 1 Thessalonians 5:15
Always hope for the best for all
Repentance is always best
Sometimes it cannot be found
Esau sought for it carefully with tears but could not find it
For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing,
he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance,
though he sought it carefully with tears. Hebrews 12:17
Yet, as hard as we try, we still cannot see another’s heart
So, we would do well to commit them to God in all faith with a good conscience
God’s Judgments are righteous and true
He sees all and He knows all
There are no excuses we can make to wish evil upon someone else
I leave you with one more thought
We all need to check our hearts as we go further into The End Times
Not to hate all those who are suffering
And because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall wax cold. Matthew 24:12
God help us if we let our love grow cold
What good is a Christian without love?
Pray that the wicked learn that God is there for them
God wants what is best for all people
f a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar:
for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,
how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1 John 4:20
