BIRTHDAYS - DON'T MAKE WISH, BUT PRAY TO OUR CREATOR

BIRTHDAYS - “Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning..."  (Luke 12:35)  
 
In the Faithful Remnant, "EVERY day is Christmas day!"  Did you know that you CAN celebrate your birthday as "a child of the Most High True God" every day as WELL?  Now you DO!  And on that topic, there is one Scripture passage that everyone needs to remember on their Birthday: “Let your loins be girded and your lamps burning..."  (Luke 12:35)  Now since the Most High True God has Commanded everyone to keep their lamps burning, why on earth would people want to celebrate their birthday, by blowing out the burning light that symbolizes the gift of each year that they were given? (- and I am referring, of course, to the candles on a birthday cake).  And as people blow out those candles, why would they want to make "a wish" - instead of a prayer to their Creator? - YOU know, "the Most High TRUE God" - the One who is responsible for GIVING each individual, the gift of another year.  Now it is GOOD to have things that you "wish" or "hope" for; but it is BETTER to turn that desire into a prayer, by lifting it up to your Creator -  and then to surrender that desire to His PERFECT Divine Will and Plan for your Life - because that just makes sense!  But to EXCLUDE your Creator, from ANY wish or plan that you may have for your life, does NOT make any sense, at all!  Remember, the people outside the Faithful Remnant don't have a lot of common sense and reason - and so don't EXPECT them to understand.  Happy Birthday Everyone - for those in the Faithful Remnant!  (February 2, 2017 update)
