Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do.

How Jesus is going to bring the third great awakening.

Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do.

These days that we are in are filled with division period. Any time you are on the news or social media, there are protests and violence taking place. Jesus we need you.


We can not be shaken by what the world is shaken by, because we will fall. We have the solid rock of Jesus. He tells us in John, fear NOT, for I have overcome the world. He has overcome racism, abortion, everything that is going on in our country right now. We have a hope that is unshakable. All things work out for those who love God and are called in His purpose. The enemy's attack is to put fear in us. In these days, we have to run to God and His word. There is a way that seems right to man, but it leads to death. We have to wear the armor of God.

Jesus on the cross

Jesus was spit on, beaten, called names, injured. A lot of things that have happened to people these past few days. Jesus shed innocent blood for ones who didn't love Him. YET, Jesus said something so importednt that we must take notice. He said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Us as Christians have to do the same. There is this song that I remembered today by 'Bethel'. The piece of the song that comes to my memory is of this: "You delight in showing mercy, and mercy triumphs over judgment". That is how Jesus was, it was His weird, righteous love that set Him apart in a crowd. When we look at this world, we must be merciful and say father forgive them, for they know not what they do. We must be filled with a gentle spirit. You may think that being so will only cause one to be trampled with. If you have the word of God in you, you can not be moved.

Another great awakening

I believe that we are in the days for another great move of the Holy Spirit. It wasn't by chance that Trump and our vice president are surrounding themselves with God. I watched the ingratiation and noticed all the priests that spoke and prayed. Trump mentioned scripture and said that most importantly that we are protected by God. Because he stands with God, so many are angered with Him. God's word brings forth righteousness, and the word of God convicts people's lifestyles. Jesus hears our prayers. God is going to awaken people young and old to the revelation of Jesus. In the last days, there will be signs and wonders. The young will prophesy, the old men will dream dreams. We will be heard louder if we go seek God and pray. When we pray heaven is moved by our words. If you look at the 70's, very similar things were taking place. Then Jesus came, and a massive revival took place. Jesus was, is, and is yet to come. God has placed us in the time period that we have been for a perfect plan. We could have been born in the 20's, or 50 years from now. God put you here for your generation. Your specific DNA has been put on earth now, because what God has put inside of you is needed for this generation and not for another. God is raising up a generation to fight for their country, school, community by prayer. To say "yes" to God, and lay down everything to see their friends and family loving and knowing Jesus.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
