The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person
(Genesis 2:7; NLT).
You made my body
Out of dust,
And formed me
In my mother’s womb;
My mind, Lord,
From the good and bad
You send
To help me grow and bloom.
You made my heart
From your great love,
Poured out through Jesus
Here on earth;
My soul, Lord,
From the breath of life
With which you quickened me
At birth.
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Mighty quickens me
(Job 33:4; LSV).
What a great meditation you present here Ruth, the meaning of lfe nonetheless! To be born, formed in His hands to serve and love Him is my life’s purpose. What else could it possibly be?
What beautiful words, Alan. Thank you so much. God bless you for your faithfulness and love xxxxx
