Good morning! I hope your weekend was restful and that you are hitting the ground running today.
Today my son Collin is celebrating his 10th birthday. A milestone has been attained. Collin is now a double digit boy. As part of this milestone celebration Collin will be opening gifts and enjoying treats given to him by friends and family who love him dearly.
Celebrations are wonderful aren’t they? People love to come together to celebrate achievements and milestones. Birthdays, victories, retirement and new babies are just some of the reasons we break out the balloons, food and wrapping paper.
The Bible speaks of a great celebration as well:
Matthew 25:23 (NLT)
The master said, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let's celebrate together!'
For the follower of Jesus the anticipation of this celebration outshines all the rest. This celebration begins at the end of this journey we call life. On this day our Lord will consider all that we have done with the life He has given us. Our faithfulness to His call will result in a celebration of eternal proportions.
Today you may be in need of a celebration. Remember this:
John 3:16 (NLT)
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Now that’s cause to celebrate!!!
Until next Monday, may God’s richest blessings be yours this week.
