Bible Verses for Birthdays
King James Version (KJV)
Birthdays are a time to celebrate life β and the Bible has much to say about the gift of life, the blessing of years, and the purposes God has for each person. Psalm 139:13-14 reminds us that each person is "fearfully and wonderfully made," knit together by God with intention.
These Bible verses for birthdays make wonderful messages, cards, and blessings. They speak of God's goodness, the gift of another year, and the calling He has placed on each unique life.
