Today is my amazing wife's birthday. I celebrate her on this day because relationship with her is my greatest joy, pleasure and source of contentment outside of Christ. She is the cherry on top of my life worth living. This is a day that many Americans dread and see as negative, because of the association with taxes, yet it is one of my top five days of the year because of my love for her and how her birth would come to enhance and better my life.
It struck me that this is how God sees us. He rejoices over us and celebrates our life because it brings Him such pleasure and joy to have relationship with us. Our relationship with Him is the joy that made it possible for Him to bear the pain of the cross, His great gift to us. So on this day that I celebrate and rejoice over Leah's birth, let us all remember that God is rejoicing over our second birth into spiritual life and relationship with Him.
