Answer:

The Bible is not a good source for positive birthday sentiments.

The celebration of birthdays is a pagan custom. There are only two birthdays mentioned as celebrated in the Bible, and Gentiles observed them.

One was observed by Pharaoh in Joseph's day, and the other is Herod's birthday in Jesus day. In both cases, someone died... Pharaoh's baker and John the Baptist.

Strangely as it sounds... God's view on things differs greatly from man's.

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the DEATH of His saints." (Ps.116:15)

"A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth." (Eccle.7:1)

You won't find those in a Hallmark display.
