Birthdays always come with gifts like the opportunity to spend time with family and friends. However, it also comes with many material gifts. i came across this verse during family devotions today and thought it was a lovely and very appropriate reminder especially on my birthday. It's a simple reminder for me to count my blessings and make sure I never make material wants my idol/put them before God!
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world."
1 John 2: 15-16
Be blessed :)
