“Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles: lest the LORD see it, and it displease Him, and He turn away His wrath from him.”
Our vile human nature takes such delight to see our adversary stumble and fall. We can hardly wait to tell others of our rival’s demise. O, what a wretched lot we are! Instead of thinking of their good and seeking to win them to the Kingdom of God, we think only of our petty interests and differences. What an opportunity to show kindness to them, to help them, to lift them up, to show them unconditional love.

“But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” –Matthew 5:44
