Dearest Jesus,

I have often asked how life can be so unfair. How could years of my life go to waste and my whole future go from super bright to super bleak? I never really understood your plans and had cried a million times, I was already drowning in my tears. It took me quite some time to realize the grand scheme of things.

You had taken away something from me to give me 10 times of what I had. You had given me pain so that i would realize the importance of the love around me. You took away something false so i could learn to distinguish the things that are real. I was wrong to feel neglected because i never was. Thank you for surrounding me with the most special gifts. Thank you for the shower of your love that is reflected from the warmth of the people in my life. Thank you for another year behind me and another year ahead.

Lord, thank you for my life.

In the glory of your name,
the most blessed girl celebrating her birthday today
