Birthday Blessings

I got the coolest birthday card from my grandmother in the mail over the weekend.  It says something along the lines of....

" Handcrafted, accepted, gifted, valued, chosen, loved...
That's who you TRULY are..." 

But, each adjective listed above has a reference to Scripture that goes along with it. 

Handcrafted:  "I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."  -Psalm 139:14
Accepted:  "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God." - Romans 15:7
Gifted: "Christ has given each of us special abilities- whatever He wants us to have out of His rich storehouse of gifts." - Ephesians 4:7
Valued: "Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered... you are worth more than many sparrows." - Luke 12:7
Chosen:  "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God." - 1 Peter 2:9
Loved: "The Lord your God is with you... He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." - Zephaniah 3:17
