Love 13.6a
(Monroe, Summer 2007)
What is “love?” 1 Corinthians 13.6a says that love “does not delight in evil.”
Love doesn’t enjoy seeking the beloved fail. Love doesn’t stare at suffering. Love doesn’t dance in the middle of unrighteousness. Love gets no pleasure out of others’ pain. Love is pained by evil. Love hates evil. Love loves people while hating evil. Love delights in whatever is good, whatever is pure, whatever is true. Love doesn’t think on on evil. Love doesn’t waste its time meditating on evil. Love doesn’t get a kick out of tripping over a crack. Love doesn’t live or get energy from or feed off the moral failures of others. Love’s dissatisfied with the media. Love doesn’t watch soap operas. Love aches for Britney Spears. Love does not delight in evil.
