Subject: Embracing the Breath of Life Hello everyone, I wanted to share a message that's been on my heart, inspired by the profound gift of life and the breath that sustains us all. At the beginning of our existence, we enter this world with a gasp, a struggle, and a breath. This breath is the essence of life, a rhythm we all share, whether rich or poor. It's a simple act but holds a powerful reminder of the divine spark within each of us. In Genesis, we're told that God formed man from the dust and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, making man a living being. This sacred breath is more than just air; it's a symbol of love, pure and unending. Love only grows by sharing, and this truth is whispered by the very breath that sustains us. We are called to care for one another, to understand each other, and to share in ways that go beyond words. For in giving, we receive far more than we could ever imagine. As Colossians 3:17 reminds us, "Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God through Him." Let's take this to heart. Praise God, the source of our breath and the giver of life. Let's make an effort to share, care, and pray, casting aside any comparisons. Let go for share, care, prayer, and skip the compare. By doing this, we honor the breath of life, the love that binds us all, and the divine spirit that breathes within us. Blessings to you all. Pastor Steven G. Lee (June 3, 2024)
