Love does not find enjoyment in bad things. It is not amused by bad things happening to others. It does take pleasure in wickedness. Evil is darkness and love is the light. Love repels bad things; love is not wrong. 


Because love does not delight in evil.

Love is a weapon against wickedness. Love overcomes evil. It doesn't dwell in darkness. It doesn't find pleasure in bad, desire wrong, or feel glad about corruption. Love drowns out evil, wipes clean the muck of vile things. Love is good.


Love wins, love is the answer!

I completely agree. There is no space for evil when true love is involved :)

Exactly! :)

Anything that is designed specifically to harm is not love. Sometimes there are consequences or punishments for actions, but that's part of love. It helps correct behavior. Reconciliation is always the goal though. If the goal is to cause pain, that's evil and it's not love.

I agree with you!
