"love...does not rejoice in iniquity" ~I Corinth 13:6~

To put it plainly, love does not rejoice in sin. I think about the relationship between brothers and sisters, don't they just love to tattle-tale and see the other one in trouble? You hear things like: Wana whip 'em moma--I'll get the belt!
Sometimes we as adults are no different. We smirk and think it's well-deserving when we see someone "get what's coming to them"....Oh, how quickly I forget that except for the mercy of God, I'd be abandoned and left to suffer dark days the rest of my life for my own mistakes. His grace grants me pardon & blessings I never deserved. Remembering that, I am humbled & ready to run restore a fallen brother or sister as quick as possible. The thought of God's heavy hand of chastisement & judgement on someone is more than any Christian's heart can bear.
Reach all you can for Him....pray for the ones you can't reach. Pray for a heart like His to love them anyway. I'm so glad HE never gave up on me
