“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” I Corinthians 13:6

Delight here refers to someone who is euphoric or overjoyed.  Evil refers to an injustice or something that is bad.  Rejoice is the same word as delight.  It’s about being pumped for your life about seeing the truth prevail.

This verse is a serious heart check:  What’s your reaction to something bad happening to someone you don’t like or someone who has hurt you?  How about when something good happens to that person? 

We’ve all been hurt.  But doing a happy dance when someone else’s world gets rocked or their ship is sinking is unacceptable.  It is also not okay to be stomping your feet and screaming about how unfair it all is when someone else’s life is sailing smooth. 

Love says we are to encourage those who are down and pray for them.  Love says we are to rejoice when others are blessed.

^“But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.  For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?”  Matthew 5:44-46
