In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since then.
"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me,"just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
(from The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald).
The above is a good thing to keep in mind as we try to obey Jesus' command to love our enemies as well as those who curse and hurt us.Only God knows the factors and events in life that cause people to behave in ways that are so contrary to His ways.
