The Lord Celebrates You

The Lord Celebrates You
September 23, 2009

Let me share with you the most beautiful words that were contained in a birthday card sent to me this year. “You are the Lord’s wonderful creation, fashioned first with His heart and then with His hands. He rejoices over your talents, gifts, and abilities because He chose them just for you.
He delights in the details of who you are-the color of your eyes, the curve of your smile-because He is the designer of each one. So on this special day and always, remember the Lord loves you, He celebrates you, and He’s so glad you’re His!” The scripture verse also included in the card is Zephaniah 3:17 “The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you. He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Everyone has something that should be celebrated in their life. If you woke up this morning and you are breathing that means you have another day to go forth and do the work in which you are called to do. A birthday is special because it is the day that God breathed the breath of life into you and created you to come forth into the world that very day. I have an excerpt of a very special writing that I would like to share with you now. I wrote this prior to me interviewing for a job. Talk about stretching my faith. As the interview concluded, I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to print on a piece of paper what the letters of the word “grace” meant. I then handed it to the person I interviewed with.

I find myself writing a bit about birthday's today because it was not too long ago that I celebrated mine. I saved the card because it was uplifting. It was as if it were hand written for me. I came across that card and inspiration came forth. May you also receive the same words and claim them for your life. God truly does love us and He delights in us.
