WHEN OTHERS HAVE CAUSE TO REJOICE, WE SHOULD REJOICE WITH THEM AND WHEN THEY ARE SAD, WE SHOULD SHARE IN THEIR SORROW!

The passage, ‘Conquer evil by doing good’ (Romans 12:21 TLB), reminds us that, because it is easy to forget why God saved us, what He has called us to do and how we are supposed to live, we should learn to love each other with brotherly affection, take delight in honouring each other, never be lazy in our work but serve the Lord enthusiastically and rather than just pretend that we love others, we should really love them, hate what is wrong and always stand on the side of good. In other words, when others have cause to rejoice, we should rejoice with them and when they are sad, we should share their sorrow. So let the knowledge that: 1) When God’s children are in need, we should be the ones helping them out and if someone mistreats us, we should pray that He blesses them; 2) We should never pay back evil for evil, but rather, do things in such a way that everyone will see we are honest, clear and thorough; and 3) If our enemies are hungry and we feed them or thirsty and we give them something to drink, we will be heaping coals of fire on their heads;  teach you, rather than allow evil to get the upper hand in your life, to always conquer evil by doing good!FG. www.femigee.com
