You May Not Have All the Facts
March 6th, 2010
I once overheard a criticism of my son, Jared, during a basketball game. When Jared failed to get down the court fast enough to stop a fast break, someone complained about his lack of hustle. What they did not know, however, was that he was playing with an injured groin muscle that prevented him from sprinting down the court. This is why is important to have all the facts before we criticize the behavior of others. We may not know about their health, home life, finances, or other challenges they are facing that might impact their behaviors. Only God knows all the facts. In the mean time, we have an obligation to view the behavior of others with patience and understanding until we know more of the facts.
