If you're an unbeliever, what point is there? You're one day closer to eternal punishment every day. You're one day deeper into sin. You know that the only reason to celebrate it, deep down, is to distract yourself from what looms in the future. Strange, right?
But...if you're a believer, how joyous! God's given you another year to glorify Him! You're one step closer to eternal joy. Life is so good, so purposeful, so satisfying! Sure, the remnants of sin are still hanging around in your soul, but every day is a step further in sanctification. You're one day further in revealing God's wonderful purpose for your life.
So celebrate! Have a laugh - and a cake, unless you're like me and don't like them - and have fun! And lest you start feeling too happy, remember that you're worthless and hopeless and all-around despicable.
Here's something else that's worthless and hopeless.
Yeah! Woo hoo! All right! Yaaay....?
No but really, happy birthday.
