    I asked God why I was born. God showed me series of dreams what life would be like if I wasn't born. I saw that I even changed lives of family members of people I considered acquaintances. I saw that my mother would have had an almost maddening life if I wasn't her child. God showed me how much me being born mattered to even total strangers that passed me by. Ask and you will be shown. 🙌💜

God, the father of our Lord, Jesus Christ who died and rose again so that we could be forgiven of our sins and live forever....that God. Amazing isn't it - that is where the true power of the rabbi's words lies....check it out.

    Enjoyed this my birthday is April 21; I'm a twin but she passed away 3 days after we were born! I'm going to be 70 th this birthday and I always had jobs after I graduated HS ; sometimes worked 2 to 3 jobs! I decided to retire finally because I worked a Civil duty job and you get called double dippings/s ; so at 70 you earn what you u earn.Any ways point I'm making I decided no one is sure how many days we have after 70 I said to myself I got 20 or 30 lol. Well decided to enjoy being a housewife; and doing hobbies and raising Grandchild! But knowing I matter to God and did my best at jobs is a great mindset; love the insight and thoughts you teach! 😊

    If people - including parents - cannot see your value or hear your voice, it is because they lack the eyes to see, they lack the ears to hear. Their weaknesses never reflected your value as a person, nor did their blindness and deafness at all indicate the respect you deserved and deserve today. The Creator of flowers, kittens, puppies, music, mountains, trees, sunshine, does not create junk. Never. You always mattered, you matter now, and you will always matter.

    My birthday is in December and I grew to love celebrating it every year. 🎂🍦🎊🎈🥳🎉 Growing up I was raised to have birthday partys and celebrations with cake & ice cream. And having them when I was in school. Also going out to restaurants. Doesn't matter how bad anyone feels about birthdays if they feel no one matters. Everyone has thier own opinion. Birthdays matter to some people myself included and some do feel other people's birthdays matter. Rather stick with those people. Birthdays means I survived another year & I'm grateful for every year I get. 💯

    I was born on my brother's tenth birthday. So because of that my birthday had a special meaning. Now I'm 74, my older brother had passed away years ago, and it's hard to celebrate the event anymore. My family insist we do, but its no longer in my heart. If I have a birthday wish, I just want it to be a regular day. I tell my daughter that just a Hallmark has more meaning for me, as it did when I was a child in our family. A dollar in a Card back then was a real treat for a kid...A candy bar back then was a Nickle, o cold pop was a dime, a movie theater ticket was 20 cents and etc. So, pick out a Hallmark Card for me, that means a lot at my age. I was just telling my wife when our daughter's car was totaled, we're still parents no matter how old our kids are we can still help them out and we do.

    One thing I wish to share with you friends to ponder? Our Births or lives contain the DNA of every relative that came before us. We have within each of us NOT just the reincarnation of Past lives, but the actual essence of every past Relative within our DNA. If you were to draw your lineage to David, Abraham, a Musician, Sculpture,Artist Tradesman, a Wonderful Mom, Farmer, writer, or yes even in worse cases a thief, Killer etc etc. This is ALL apart of who YOU are because it is in YOU. So your very Birthday has more significance then just YOU, it is also a celebration of who influenced you getting here. Makes ya think a little now don't it. Shalom/GOD Bless...

    On your 77th birthday, there will be a planetary alignment, all the visible planets align with Spica, the hand star in Virgo, September 8th is the last day, the first day of the New Moon, and the birthday of Mary. I was born September 6th 1961(9/6/1961 - 961(7)/961(7), I'll be 79 in 2040. Do you know what star you where born under?, I was born under Alula, it means Firstborn, what is the Hebrew months of August September, Elul and Tishrei, the Sun will be at the back feet of Leo. Both Venus and the Moon were in Cancer, known in ancient times as AL-LUL, both Mars and Mercury are where they are in 2040, they cycle as twins, showing up together on the same day every 79 years, Saturn and Jupiter where on the cups of Sagittarius and Capricorn, my name Roger means Famous Spear, like on my 79th birthday, if you play Spica in reverse, you hear it echo "I Cupps", odd that it says that, because that's my name, in Irish, cupla means Twin, or Two, my name Lewallyn means Like a Lion, Cupps is my mother's name, I'm a McCullough, they say we have the closest DNA to the Levite DNA. If you go back 9 months from your birth, the same stars at back at midheaven, but the time is off by 7 hours, from 30 degrees north latitude, it takes 7 hours for the midheaven stars to fall to the horizon, my twin star is Vega, known as Bau-Gula in ancient times, mother of Damu, known as The Swine, Bau is associated with dogs, known as the first physician, Damu is an aspect of Dumuzi/Tammuz, The name “Tammuz” derives from the Akkadian term “Tammuzi,” which finds its roots in the ancient Sumerian name “Damu-zid,” meaning “The Young, Impeccable One.”. In Irish, McCullough means "Son of the Hound of Ulster", in Scottish, it means "Son of the Boar". In Irish, culu means "reverse", macalla means "Echo", the ancient Sumerian god, Alla or Alla-Gula was the first Damu, in Hebrew, Makala means "Who is like God".

    I matter because The Lord Wants me to be here. The Lord knows I need Him, and He Needs me too. He wanted me here at this time. Sometimes I'm not sure exactly why. I just know it's the reason.

    My 4/1 birthday just occurred and I taught a energetic modality class on it, one of my favorite contributions to share and receive. So happy to be drawn to this channel…Especially the past five years my life has been unfolding and curating in such a in increasingly Sacred way. I have such gratitude for this blessing. We came from the apple of His eye…We are never alone…we have a spiritual sacred family that transcends even the greatest earthly human relationship experience, we have so much more to create & contribute here, I will continue to listen to all these wisdom messages, they each feel like opening and receiving birthday gifts! All month long…I accept this abundance joyfully. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

    Brother Jacob, Thank you for this vision because I've disliked, and mostly like in Job chapter 3, I've hated my birthday. I recently turned 52 on the 15th of June, and still annoyed with myself because I can't fully get over the pain of the past. You see my birthday was often forgotten by my family, and that said to me, "You don't matter, you're not special", So on my birthday as a young boy, I'd spend most of the day in the forest escaping bad treatment, Cos I thought, "If they remember it's my birthday, then I won't get a scolding or beaten for being naughty". Fast forward to teenagehood.. Mom would make all kinds of promises for birthday presents and guess what? She never fulfilled them, and she and my siblings didn't wish me happy birthday on the day. I grew to resent that day, the day that is supposed to be celebrated. As a young adult, I never shared with work colleagues when my birthday came up, and I pretend like it was just another day. Fortunately for me, June 16 is a public holiday in our country, and it's also school winter holidays, so I could just go to my apartment and sleep all day, or as a youngster, I wasn't in school and could just lose myself in the forest. Fast forward again... In 2004 my son was born on my birthday, Totally unplanned and it was a natural birth. That's when I thanked God that at least the attention my wife and family now give me, will now be on him, because I don't know how to respond to love and kindness on my birthday. Throughout our marriage, we've had ups and major downs in our finances. Recently, there was a court summons of sequestration on a flat we own because we're behind on levies.. I thought, How is this happening on my birthday? That terrible day of darkness, I now understand why Jod cursed his arrival on this earth. Fortunately, I tend to only have these extreme negative reactions on my birthday and the next day I look forward to carrying on with life. Just listening to the first 8min of this video just made me realize, that my life has had lots of joys and I've made a difference to hundreds of people. So thank you for reminding me that God had /has a purpose for all of us BUT! It all began with the day we were born. My birthday was just 8 days ago, now I can't wait for next year.. I wanna celebrate and be thankful for the opportunity to be part of God's creation. A weird thing leading up to my birthday was I kept seeing the number plates of the day month and year I was born, multiple times in a day.. By the time it was getting close, I thought that perhaps I'm going to die on my birthday. I shared this with my daughter and she got real angry at me. I'm really praying for a huge transformation so that my wife doesn't have to deal with awkwardness every year and me just trying to shift the attention onto our son. He's the best gift I could've ever imagined. Blessings
