What I been praying for our government as I pray for my enemies. Is for God to forgive them for they know not what they do & to bless them and guide them to the Truth. I give it to You Lord, Your will be done.
For awhile there it robbed me of my Joy in the Lord.

Not sure I'm understanding the difference, here's the definition of gloat.
Lol...I mean weren't you kind of gloating here?
What would compel Hillary to do this? They can't let go...
Can you elaborate?
From that definition I was gloating but in my thoughts I was thinking more of
spiteful rejoicing to describe a persons attitude.
I can understand it seems similar and yet there are 2 verses that seemingly contradict each other. It must relate to a persons heart attitude of joy at someones misfortune.
I'm sure God wasn't displeased when people rejoiced at Hitlers death - When Haman died in the OT the Jews rejoiced.

In regard to the scripture we are discussing we must always have a proper balance of righteous judgment, our attitude of heart and motive for rejoicing.
Do we want to see righteousness??
Below I am using an exaggeration to make a point
If we take that scripture with no counter balance then we could possibly assume that when Jesus casts the anti-christ into hell and I rejoice... will God take him out of hell and allow him to torment the world for another 3.5 years.
Will it be my fault????
