"Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord." (Proverbs 18:22, KJV)
It is with great joy that we celebrate my dearly beloved bride's birthday. Indeed marriage is a blessing and a godly wife is one of the greatest earthly gifts that God gives! Marriage can be a great testimony of the power of the gospel since God has made it that marriage is an illustration of the relationship between Christ and the church (see Ephesians 5). It is my sincere desire that as a couple we can be shining forth a godly example of this divine relationship.
Jill, I am very grateful that you are one of God's children and that we can be working together to seek first the kingdom of God. I am blessed and encouraged by your consistency in proclaiming the truth of God's Word and I appreciate the questions that you bring about what you hear and read to ensure that we are thinking through these issues from a biblical perspective. Your willingness to discuss these issues has helped all of us in our family (including me) to strive to look to Holy Scripture as the basis for our conclusions on each matter.
I pray that God will give you a very joyful birthday celebration, that you will feel very loved, honored, and blessed! You are my dear and precious sweetheart! Happy birthday, my love!
In Christ,
David
