We are particularly required to be kind to the unthankful and to the evil; and therein to follow the example of our heavenly Father, who causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and unjust. We are obliged, not only to be kind to them that are so to us, but to them that hate, and that despitefully use us. Jonathon Edwards ^1
I have failed miserably.
