Before you make too many excuses based on your having gotten a poor start in
life consider the study made by Victor and Mildred Goertzel. They studied the
backgrounds of hundreds of highly successful people. Three out of four had a
troubled childhood! One fourth of them had some physical handicap. The fact is
that no one grew up in a perfect home, and no one has a perfect body or perfect
mind. Read the list of kings in the Old Testament and see how many overcame
spiritual disadvantages. How often it is said that "he walked not in the
ways of his father!"
