Whenever people invite me to celebrate their birthday and pray for them, I used to read from Lamentation 3:19-23 where the mighty prophet says, “I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. 20 I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. 21Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope 22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness”.
Now is my turn, TODAY (30th, August) IS MY BIRTHDAY.
It is indeed a joy for me to celebrate my birthday. God has been faithful to me all these years. Even though I walked through many difficult journeys, He is ever present in all my hardships. Highlighting my journey of this year in studying Master Course in Seminary Theology Malaysia, often tears come to my cheek. My soul is downcast within me. In my weakness and in frustration in my papers, I blamed my self; I blame the God who brought me to Malaysia to study. But the day comes; I realized that all these tears/ hardships are designed to mold me for the future ministry. Oh! Yea, God has been faithful unto me, God has been gracious unto me, God has been blessing me, and God has been showing mercy upon mercy unto me.
I Praise God for His manifold blessings until this day to enable me to celebrate my BIRHTDAY,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
