Aniversário de criança
O aniversário de uma criança é momento de celebrar o presente precioso que Deus deu. Cada criança é formada e conhecida por Deus desde antes de nascer.
For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When asyettherewere none of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
By You I have been upheld from birth;
You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.
My praise shallbe continually of You.
One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother’s womb
You havebeen My God.
For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him.
When I was my father’s son,
Tender and the only one in the sight of my mother,
He also taught me, and said to me:
"Let your heart retain my words;
Keep my commands, and live.
Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
