Love, Forgiveness, and Boston

Proverbs 24:17 "Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles."
In many circumstances it's easy to read this verse and think, sure! I can do that.  But in the light of this past week or so, it isn't so easy anymore.  When you heard that one suspect in the bombing of the Boston marathon was dead and the other was caught, what did you do?  What were your thoughts?  Did you rejoice? Did you post on Facebook?  Did you tell as many people as possible?  According to God, rejoicing in their fall is wrong.  You see, the bombers were only people.  They have souls, feelings, and minds.  One will suffer the earthly consequences, but both will suffer the eternal consequences.  How can we rejoice when someone goes to spend eternity burning in Hell?  Eternity is a very long time.  And Hell is a horrendous place to spend any time in, not just eternity.
Please understand, however, that I do not favor a light earthly punishment.  I believe that justice needs to be served.  But I also believe that love needs to be shown.  Christians need to love everyone, regardless of who they are or what they have done.  No matter how hard it is.
Caution: this paragraph might hurt your feelings.  In God's eyes, your pride, your anger, your sin are exactly the same as another man's shooting little children or setting off a bomb.  There are no "big" sins and "small" sins.  They are all disobeying and dishonoring God.  But as soon as we ask God for forgiveness He forgets our sins.  And guess what?  If the suspect for the Boston bombing asks God for forgiveness, God will forgive him! Completely!  Does that make you mad?  Now, can you forgive the people who wrong you?  And even harder, can you forgive the people who hurt the ones you love?  And the hardest of all, can you ask for forgiveness?
