Breath and Beat

Stop for a moment

and notice each breath you take

 

Put your hand on your heart

and feel it pulse

 

Life within you

given by God

 

Each breath a gift

each heartbeat His to give

 

You are alive

 

Are you alive in Him?

Or are you merely existing?

 

Does His heart beat in you?

Does the Life-Giving Spirit breathe in you?

His speech shaped the entire cosmos.
Immersed in the practice of creating,
all things that exist were birthed in Him.
His breath filled all things
with a living, breathing light—

For the Spirit of God has made me,
and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
