Mark 13:32 (ESV)
But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not
even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
“Only the Father knows” when it is time for a baby to be
born. “Only the Father knows” when you were meant to grace the world with your
presence. Whether 10, 20, 50, or 75 years ago, your heavenly Father caused you
to enter the scene; He filled you with the potential and talents to change the
world. Even before your earthly parents met, God knew you would be the result
of their union.
God the Father welcomes about 353,000 babies into the world
every day—and every day He wishes hundreds of thousands of His children already
born, “Happy Birthday!” It’s easy to imagine a continuous, glorious birthday
party celebration in Heaven proclaiming miracle after miracle after miracle.
Of the 7.4 billion people who inhabit the Earth, every one
is a gift from God. Every person worldwide has the potential to make the world
a beautiful place to live—through the love and peace of Christ. Let’s start
today with a smile and a kind word for all we meet.
Dear Lord, help us to enjoy this day, for it is the day you
have made. Also help us to look beyond just this day, just this year, and focus
our eyes on eternity. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
