Birth-days

It's my birthday...so today I celebrate God's gift to me--LIFE. And the icing on the cake is ETERNAL LIFE as freely given to me when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and thus was BORN AGAIN. ("In reply Jesus declared, 'I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." -- John 3:3)

As I read what has become embraced by me as the "Birthday Psalm 139," I'm reminded of God's love, favor and purposes so inventively built into our lives. "...For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be..."

My prayer today is that the Holy Spirit empowers us to continue to believe, walk and breath in God's promises, plans, and purposes for our lives. In Jesus' Name I pray this. Amen. So be it!
