This month, I celebrate my “Jesus Birthday,” 35 years of being born again.

“Verily I am Thy servant, O my God, and Thy poor one and Thy suppliant. I have arrived at Thy gate, seeking Thy shelter. I have found no contentment save in Thy love, no exultation except in Thy remembrance, no eagerness but in obedience to Thee, no joy save in Thy nearness, and no tranquility except in reunion with Thee.”
