Happy Birthday to me! Today is my birthday and I am blessed to have turned. . .well no need to go into the details there. I was reflecting on how blessed I am to see yet another year of my life with all of its experiences, milestones, celebrations and challenges.
I am grateful for having another year of opportunities that have come across the paths of my life. I am thankful for my earthly birth in all its splendor.
But I am more excited about my second birth in Christ, where my life really began. Through the unexplainable love of a God that saw His broken creation and gave me another chance to really live life! I am excited about this undeserved grace that God extended to me through His son Jesus, so I could live the life that He had originally ordained just for me.
I marvel at the plans that God has for my life today and the vision that He has shown me for my future in Him. Every part of my earthly journey is preparing me for my eternal journey. So as I celebrate my earthly birth, I recognize that my spiritual birth is the one that I work toward, the one that will last long after my flesh is gone!
Happy Birthday to me! Thank you Lord!
