IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY/ ANNIVERSARY

December reminds us that every life is a gift from God. As we mark birthdays and anniversaries this month, we pause to rejoice in His faithfulness, His perfect timing, and His unfailing love that sustains us through every season. Each birthday is a testimony that before we were formed, the Lord already knew us and set us apart for His purpose (Jeremiah 1:5). Each anniversary is a reminder that what God has joined together, no one can separate (Mark 10:9). These celebrations are not just milestones of time, but markers of grace, evidence that the Lord continues to crown our days with His goodness. As the year draws to a close, we declare with confidence: ‘You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance.’ (Psalm 65:11)

So in this month of December, we honor the gift of life and the blessing of covenant love. We rejoice with those who celebrate, we give thanks for the years already lived, and we look forward with anticipation to the years yet to come. May every birthday be filled with joy and renewed strength, and may every anniversary be a fresh witness of God’s enduring love. Truly, December is a season of remembrance, gratitude, and hope, for the Lord has been faithful from the beginning and will remain faithful until the end.
