Happy Birthday Hamish!

Hamish is 3 today!  I thought I'd share with you, some of his previous birthdays with you.  The video is when he was 1, the cookies when he was 2.  He wasn't naughty, the first video didn't work out so this was a redo.

Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3

So when is your birthday, the important one?

There may not have been a time and day you can point to, knowing you were saved from an eternal existence without God.  It may have been an unfolding experience, but as long as you can say today that you accepted Jesus as your personal saviour, believe in Him and want to follow Him, then that is what is important.  But roughly most people know how many years they have a restored relationship with God.

Looking at Hamish knowing he is 3 started me thinking about dog years.  Dogs in their comparable short lives to humans grow up so fast.  Our new birthday is sort of like it.  Compared to eternity the time we live here, is so short and yet this is our preparation for eternity.  Our choices and what we do here, does matter.

It also doesn’t matter if you come to believe in Jesus when you are 80 as you can have a powerful impact on those around you when you talk about Jesus.  So when we think about our new birthday, even if we are ‘old’ having been saved for many years, may we all have a renewed sense of our short life and a view on eternity, making a most of every opportunity.  Let me wish you a 'happy new birthday' to whenever you were born again, let’s rejoice and what a great idea for a party. Let's party!
