What is your Reaction?

Good Morning! Obadiah 1:12 You should not look down on your brother in the day of his misfortune,nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction,nor boast so much in the day of their trouble. Today I'm going to talk about something we all do,and I AM THE WORST! And God I ask your forgiveness for this. Let me ask you What is your Reaction when you hear of the CEO whose empire has crumbled due to unethical accounting practices? Or you read in the paper of someone you know who got arrested for DUI? Or if you are like me you just like to play senerios in your head,just so you can look at them and have a laugh over their life situations? Now that I am clean&sober sometimes I forget where I came from. so I laugh at the misfortunes of their life. See now that I am Clean and Sober sometimes I forget where I came from and and how "there but for the grace of God go I" It makes me want to take a look at my heart condition. There are 2 kinds of hearts mentioned in the Bible. A hardened heart which is indiffernt or even rejoices in anothers calamity or misfortune. And a contrite heart, a heart that knows its own sin and breaks for people who stumble. I know what kind of heart I have today and I am ashamed of myself. You know we have all made mistakes in life. So we have no right to make fun of or belittle other people because of theirs. because of their misfortune. SO TODAY JOIN ME IN WORKING ON THE HEART CONDITION. Let us remember we are all sinners, and let us remember who paid the price for us. He washed away our sins with a heart of love. And that is the kind of heart we need towards others. A heart that is humbled by its own sin,so that it can extend grace and love to others in their misfortune instead of judgment. HABD!
