Happy Birthday to you…Happy Birthday to you… That’s the song you often hear on that special day you celebrate your physical birth and were placed in your parents’ family. Yet even more important is the day that you prayed and invited Jesus Christ into your heart and your life. You were reborn spiritually, receiving new life from God. Through faith in Christ, this new birth changes you from the inside out, makes you spiritually alive and puts you in God’s family!

But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

John 1:12

As His child, God has given you the greatest privilege to receive His blessing, favor and eternal life. However, did you know that God sings over you? Zephaniah 3:17 says, “He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exult over you with loud singing.” That’s an amazing way He celebrates you every day!

Think of someone who does not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Commit to pray for that person every day. Look for opportunities to share God’s love through your actions and your words. Pray also for America’s leaders who don’t know Him to embrace a spiritual birthday!
