Reflection on Verse for Today

Repaying evil with good isn’t always easy, but God’s mercy is sufficient to allow us to love our adversaries and to do good to those who spitefully use us, such as by providing food and water to an adversary who is in need. There is joy in heaven when we do what He says, especially when we bring a sinner to repentance. But there will be a day when God takes vengeance on those who have wronged His people, and every unrepentant evildoer will be showered with flaming coal and the fiery wrath of the Lord.

As God’s children, we have an obligation to show compassion and forgiveness to those who are lost, even if they are our enemies. You and I have access to God’s goodness and grace, His kindness, His forgiveness, and His long-suffering mercy while we were sinners, and we should treat others with the same godly grace, mercy, and forgiveness that we have received.

Our enemies must repent, but we must heed God’s Word “Feed your enemy if he is hungry. Give him a drink if he seems parched ” and to do it with affection.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, sometimes my enemies have been cruel and abusive to me and others I care about. Lord, I’ll be honest: there are times when I wish I could exact some sort of vengeance on them. But Lord, I know I have the responsibility to bless those who curse me, to pray for those who persecute me, and to share my food with those who go hungry, all for the sake of Your greater glory. I’m grateful that there will be a day when You fulfill Your promise to punish those who have wronged me.

Please keep me from seeking revenge, for Your Word says, “Vengeance is Mine, declares the Lord; I will recompense.” Help me to draw me nearer to You, and to use my words and deeds to bring praise to Your holy name and favor to everyone with whom I come into touch. In Jesus might name I pray. Amen.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
