Joy God Does Not Approve Of
By Janna Bailey
There is a joy that God does not approve of!
What do I mean?
If we rejoice or are joyful when an athlete from a team we dislike is severely injured, or somebody we dislike becomes ill; this is a joy that is an insult to God. When we behave unmercifully– we fail to exhibit, loving kindness, compassion, gentleness, goodness, or empathy towards the person who is ill or injured. We are then dabbling in the work of the flesh. Namely- hatred. It is imperative that we exhibit loving kindness, mercy, empathy, and compassion. We also need to pray for the person who is ill or injured; and ask God or Jesus to lead that person to the Saving grace of Jesus Christ just in case that person is unsaved.
