Love Your Enemies

[Proverbs 24:17] Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

This is a simple thought today- Love your enemies.

Do we get pleasure in seeing other people fail or do we have the burden that we need to for lost souls? If you are ever happy to see someone fail, then there is an evaluation of the heart that needs to be taken place. 

[Proverbs 25:21] If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:


With the love of Christ dwelling in us, we must be able to give all we can to those around us regardless of what they've done. We must learn to turn the other cheek.

The old saying goes- Hate the Sin. Love the Sinner. 


If there is someone in your life that you need to forgive or a grudge that you need to let go- do it today. You never know when it will be too late.

[Ephesians 4:26] Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:


Lord, help us to not only forgive our enemies, but to love them.
