God Loves What Is Right

 “Love . . . does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.” I Corinthians 13:6 NASB

Isn’t it good to know that even when we don’t love with a perfect love, God does? He always nourishes what is right. He always applauds what is right. He has never done wrong, led one person to do wrong, or rejoiced when anyone did wrong. For he is love, and love “does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.” - Max Lucado
