Birthdays!

I love birthdays! There is so much joy in celebrating a new year! What does God have planned for the $$th year of my life? (Age hidden...to keep my friend ageless)

God says true life begins at our rebirth...John 3:3-21.
v.5-8
Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

The best birthday is the day you trust Jesus as your Savior, Everlasting Father, Counselor, Mighty King, Brother, Shepherd, Master, Prince of Peace and Friend. This is the day you enter into eternity...the day your life begins. On this day, you start storing up treasure for eternity.

One of my favorite things to talk about with Lori is what lasts into eternity. When this conversation starts...perspective changes. Try it..."in light of eternity" what does it matter how many hits your son/daughter had in the game? "In light of eternity" what does it matter if the bathroom got cleaned on Saturday if your little girl wanted to snuggle on the couch? See...life is all about perspective. From God's perspective...life begins on our Spiritual Birthday...the day we accept His Son as our Savior...and lasts into eternity.

Let's celebrate! Today, I am thankful for Lori, birthdays, and a Savior who ran after me and saved my soul!

In Him-
