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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
