Took a few minutes to pen a few words of love and well wishes for our beloved firstborn son, Reuben on his 15th birthday on January 20, 2021, in a Shakespearean sonnet form entitled – Our gift – Precious and while Sangeetha, I and his brother, Ittai express our heartfelt love and well wishes for him, we want you to realize and recognize that the Most Precious gift of all is the gift of God’s son – Jesus Christ – for each one of us.

Reuben – 15th Birthday

Enjoy the sonnet but don’t forget to reflect most important gift of all – our Lord, Savior and King – Jesus Christ.

Note: A Shakespearean sonnet is 14 lines in total with 10 syllables in each line having the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG

Fifteen years have come and gone by so fast 
and we continue to think and reflect –
How God’s love toward us has been so vast 
gifting us you, our firstborn son – perfect!

Life because of you is full of wonder!
Seeing you grow in wisdom and stature,
in favor with God and man, we ponder
and pray ye rest always in God’s pasture.

A wonderful son and brother ye art
And our love for you grows stronger each day
Great love for you is anchored in our heart
Which nothing, no nothing can take away! 

God has been kind to us, and been gracious 
gifting us with you – Reuben – our precious!

Points to ponder:
Have you accepted the most precious gift of all. In other words, have you believed in the Lord Jesus Christ?

Romans 3:23 (KJV)
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Romans 6:23 (KJV)
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

John 3:16 (KJV)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

A godly seed is sought

Reuben Praying

Reuben, our beloved firstborn son turns 6 years old today (01/20/2012) and we are ever so grateful to God the Father for having blessed us with such a wonderful and proper child (Hebrews 11:23). Over the course of these past six years, many times, my wife and I have wished, hoped and prayed that all we desire, is that Reuben grows up as a God fearing child. In other words, our heartfelt desire and hope is that Reuben is a godly child, growing up as Jesus did (Luke 2:52).

Malachi 2:15 states that God is seeking a godly child, and in one sense, this means that we are required to raise godly children, but deeper introspection reveals that it is also a personal reminder. Yes, God desires that every parent raises godly children, but at the same time, he is also seeking for each one of us to be His godly children. He desires and requires us to be godly; in other words, Holy, as He is Holy (1 Peter 1:16).

Point(s) to ponder:
As earthly parents, we seek and desire that our children are godly.
How much more then do you think our Heavenly Father desires this of each one of us.
A godly seed is sought – Are you/I going to be that godly seed that God desires/seeks?

Happy Birthday, Reuben Abishai Paul (RAP). God bless you richly to be godly; this is our desire. This is what your ever-loving mama Sangeetha and your ever-loving dada seek of you.

Malachi 2:15 (KJV)
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.

Luke 2:52 (KJV)
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

1 Peter 1:15-16 (KJV)
15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
