1 Corinthians 13:6
Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.
Love does not take pleasure in evil, in the wrong, in lies. But it does find gladness and celebrates with the truth. When I think about this verse, I like to say to myself well of course Love doesn’t take pleasure or delight in evil. Love is God. And evil has nothing to do with love, not one bit of love will you find in evil, not one. God creates everything you find and see on this earth, it comes from Love, it is made with love, however evil is not. And because evil doesn’t come from Love and has nothing to do with it and is down right bad, why would love want to take pleasure in it, be glad along side it? It wouldn’t.
The evil lies and wrong doing that I still have within me; the Holy Spirit does not find pleasure in. In fact He detest them and I hate them. I want them gone. They just aren’t apart of the true me. As I further my walk with the Lord I see how they aren’t apart of me because I am beginning to know Him more which allows me to know me more and now I’m realizing that these lies in me that I still walk in, aren’t suppose to be there. And I can rejoice, find gladness with the fact that the truth will see me free from those lies, allowing God to finish the good work He started in me. I know He finds no pleasure with the lies and evil ways within me either, so He takes every moment with me to work out all the kinks. And then We both can celebrate together finding great cheer in the Loving truth.
Application:
There is something I have done where no gladness can be found, so I am praying that a letter will we cheer by letting the truth be known.
