Happy Birthday To My Humble Self — I thank God for all.
It’s always — one day born and one day to die as we used to say.
I am thanking God today as I am highly favoured for the kind of wonderful life I have been given, the air to breath and strength to walk. It’s my birthday today, the 4th day of March and all I can say is thank you Lord for everything.
A time to be born unto the earth to serve for a purpose and a time to conclude your mission on this earth.
Indeed, today marks another day, a special day to say and mention — in my life as my birthday.
On this 4th of March, as the book of Matthew 1:21 says, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
A lot celebrated during the day though but I couldn’t have celebrated it much without the wishes from friends and loved ones.
According to the prophecy
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and his government shall be upon his shoulders; and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace according to Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) is all I based upon to keep life moving and kicking. In addition, the prophecy written in Matthew 1:21 states that, Behold, a virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name Emmanuel which is interpreted as God with us.
I sat down as usual to take stock of my life and try to evaluate things. I see the world around me now, how it was, how it has been, how it should be and how I wish it could be.
Through it all, I thank God for times I had plenty and times I had nothing.
- The times I was happy and times I was sad.
- The times I gained and the times I lost.
- The times I was judged and criticized by too many and the times I was celebrated by only a few.
- The times I loved and the times I could not love.
- The times I fell and the times I picked myself up.
- The times I made mistakes and the times I did it right.
- The times I felt alone and the times I felt complete.
- The times I was married and the times I was not.
- The times I did not have anyone and the times I had a family.
- The times I thought I had it all and the times I thought I had none.
- The times I thought I knew it all and the times I knew nothing.
- The times I blamed the world and the times I blamed myself.
- The times I thought I could fix things and the times I knew I could not.
- The times I could have died and the times I was saved.
- The times I cried and the times I smiled.
In all of this I realized that I could not really control any of these factors on my own. That was when it dawned on me that while we are here on earth breaking our backs to control everything, God has already done that and has decided who we will be, where we will be, how we will be and when we will be, so no matter how hard people try to interrupt other people’s lives or theirs it is not possible. It is said that who God has blessed no man can curse and whoever God has already cursed no man can bless.
I am thanking God today as I am highly favoured for the kind of wonderful life I have been given, the air to breath and strength to walk. It’s my birthday today, the 4th day of March and all I can say is thank you Lord for everything.
