My 65th Birthday. October 4,2019 Poem by Roxanne Dubarry

This very day is my 65th birthday.
And I am glad to say there by
the grace of God I have lived
to become another year older.

It is a privilege not given to everyone,
courteously of Jesus Christ, God's
only begotten and beloved son.
For it is sad but true.

Far too many people perish in the
early days of their middle age
or youth.It does not mean
God loved them less than
senior citizens such as me.

Nor is it because I consider myself
to be be very lucky. It is not
because I have chosen Jesus Christ
as my LORD and Savior of mine own life.
It is all because Jesus Christ first loved me.

If Jesus Christ can truly love a misbegotten
habitual sinner such as me, he is free
to love and forgive anybody who sincerely
asks him too. And if we are reborn,
we are freeborn indeed.
