THE GREATEST CARDS EVER GIVEN

I wonder how many birthday cards

Jesus will receive this year?

I wonder if He has ever received

A birthday card so dear?

How would we send a card to heaven?

What would be the address?

I think Jesus receives His greetings

When sinful men confess.

Perhaps cards arrive as special deliveries

Every time someone gives Him their heart,

And I imagine He cherishes them forever

And desires they never depart.

And the very greatest news of all

Is each birthday is brand new.

When a new believer is born into heaven

A big party goes on too.

Yes, we celebrate the birth of Christ.

But He celebrates those born again.

I envision Him lavishing forgiveness and grace

Every time sinners are freed from sin.

Never take Jesus’ birthday for granted,

Give reverence for the day He was born.

His birthday marked the resurrection coming

And on His death the veil was torn.

And that’s when the birthday cards began

And He writes down every name received.

The greatest cards ever given?

Are on the day new souls believe.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!  I HOPE YOU RECEIVE MILLIONS OF NEW BIRTHDAY GREETINGS THIS SEASON.
