Birth Verse

But Godliness with contentment is great gain.

1 Timothy 6:6

I received the coolest birthday card yesterday from a loved one in my family with this verse on it. Isn’t that just like God who has been teaching me lately to be content with Him and with His love in spite of the drama that is happening all around us to prompt one of His children to send me this awesome reminder today of how much He loves me on my birthday. See, what I am beginning to understand lately with my heart that I have known for years to be true in my head is that the greatest thing in this life is our relationship with Jesus as we abide in Him, every minute of every day. Greater than successes of the past or hope for the future; greater than any temporal joy that our limited minds could ever conceive; greater than the next big sale or new house or new friend; greater than our health or our wealth or any other thing that we could ever imagine is the love of our Father who lives inside of everyone who has accepted this great gift of love into his/her heart. I can’t imagine a birthday present that is greater or a love that is more complete or more fulfilling than the love that Jesus has for you and I today.

So with that, I thank my awesome God today for abundant life and for the opportunity to walk with Him and live out this amazing love that is so precious and so real and I pray that it would overflow out of my heart today in a way that others would see Jesus in me and believe. All of my love, forever to the one who has set my heart free!
