As Christians, we are blessed to have the indescribable gift of salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord - a more excellent gift than any present given by our families or friends. On this special day, let us be reminded to give thanks for such an incredible and life-changing gift.
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
2 Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out!
Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies.
The Lord's devotion to his children is undying. His adoration stays strong, and that is the reason we should be appreciative. He makes our lives enriched with blessings. Our souls ought to teem with thankfulness.
20 Those who listen to instruction will prosper;
those who trust the Lord will be joyful.
21 The wise are known for their understanding,
and pleasant words are persuasive.
Heeding this proverb can lead to a prosperous life: rely on the Lord and think before you say something, and you will find the fullness of joy. It's a potent reminder or inspiration for someone who is purposeful with their words and faith.
6 God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they will be satisfied.
7 God blesses those who are merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 God blesses those whose hearts are pure,
for they will see God.
9 God blesses those who work for peace,
for they will be called the children of God.
10 God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right,
for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Jesus' words of blessing during his sermon on the mount included the declaration that those who are pure in heart shall see God. This is a beautiful assurance. This verse is a reminder that we should not be discouraged by the trials and tribulations we face in life. Instead, we should be encouraged by the promise of a great reward in heaven for those who remain faithful to God. God blessed you with the Gift of Life, and keeping this in focus helps you maintain a peaceful life.
12 God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. 13 And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. 14 Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.
15 These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
This passage reminds us that God will bless those who patiently endure testing and temptation. It also serves as a reminder that we should not blame God for our temptations but instead recognize that they come from our own desires. This is an essential lesson for us all, especially on birthdays, when we are often tempted to indulge in excess.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart's desires.
This verse is a reminder that when our hearts are in harmony with God's plan, He will fulfill our heart's wishes. On birthdays, it's important to remember that God knows what we need and wants to bless us. We should focus on Him and His goodness rather than our desires. This verse is an excellent reminder of the power of faith and trust in God.
22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
23 Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each morning.
This verse is a reminder of God's faithfulness and mercy. On birthdays, it's important to remember that God is always with us and will never leave us. His mercies are new every morning, so we can trust in Him no matter what the future holds. This verse is an excellent source of comfort and hope for those celebrating their birthday.
17 Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.

As a special birthday prayer, this verse encourages us to keep choosing Christ, and we can have peace in our hearts because of him. In addition, this verse is a great reminder to take time to appreciate the beauty of life and be thankful for all that God has done.

8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Every year brings an opportunity to remember that God has crafted us for a purpose and is working in our lives. He created us for a reason, prompting us to do good works as we journey through life.
10 Don't long for "the good old days."
This is not wise.
11 Wisdom is even better when you have money.
Both are a benefit as you go through life.
12 Wisdom and money can get you almost anything,
but only wisdom can save your life.
Coming of age allows us to benefit from the wisdom we accumulate as we get older. We can be thankful for this gift of increased knowledge.
1 Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
2 But they delight in the law of the Lord,
meditating on it day and night.
3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.
If we dedicate ourselves to God and his teachings, just like the tree planted by the water, we'll live to be prosperous. This verse is an encouragement for those who age but also increases their knowledge and wisdom.
17 You already know these things, dear friends. So be on guard; then you will not be carried away by the errors of these wicked people and lose your own secure footing.
18 Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen.
On our birthdays, we should strive to deepen our understanding of God and become better reflections of Christ. We can use this opportunity to honor Him by growing in grace and knowledge and bring Him even greater glory.

We will rejoice and be glad in it.
This verse reminds us to be thankful for each day, especially birthdays. We should take joy in God giving us another year of life and use it to serve Him faithfully. This verse is a great reminder to celebrate our lives with gratitude and joy.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;

This scripture is a beautiful reminder that God is always with us and can give us strength, so we don't have to be afraid. This verse makes for a great birthday reminder, reminding us of the boldness Christians can have when embarking on a new year.
12 Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom.
This birthday quote isn't as cheerful as others, but it serves as a reminder that life is short and we should make the most of it and use every day to stay on the straight path -- since we don't know when our time will be up. On birthdays, we can reflect on how far we have come and thank God for all He has done. We can also use this time to set new goals and strive to live our lives in a way that honors Him.

'Don't be afraid. I am here to help you.
Believers should take comfort and encouragement that, as they rely on the Lord, He will provide them with strength. This is especially pertinent as we get older, knowing that God will be with us and grant us power from Him alone.
2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory.
3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

12 Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom.
This birthday quote isn't as cheerful as others, but it serves as a reminder that life is short and we should make the most of it and use every day to stay on the straight path -- since we don't know when our time will be up. On birthdays, we can reflect on how far we have come and thank God for all He has done. We can also use this time to set new goals and strive to live our lives in a way that honors Him.
15 Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words!

10 Don't be afraid, for I am with you.
Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
11 "See, all your angry enemies lie there,
confused and humiliated.
Anyone who opposes you will die
and come to nothing.
12 You will look in vain
for those who tried to conquer you.
Those who attack you
will come to nothing.
13 For I hold you by your right hand—
I, the Lord your God.
And I say to you,
'Don't be afraid. I am here to help you.
Believers should take comfort and encouragement that, as they rely on the Lord, He will provide them with strength. This is especially pertinent as we get older, knowing that God will be with us and grant us power from Him alone.
2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory.
3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
This uplifting scripture can be especially heartening on birthdays since our confidence in Jesus grounds us as Christians. In addition, we should remember our life's blessings, such as how Jesus passed away for us and dispatched the Holy Spirit.
