WE ARE ONE BREATH:
When you know who you are and whose you are, you don’t easily fall prey to nonsensical things. (You can’t make sense out of nonsense says a little old lady friend of a friend).
Let’s go back to basics! Who owns the breath you breathe? From whence did it come? (Genesis 2:7) I mean, it’s true that you’re a living being but the big bang theory did not bring you to be. You were not hatched out of a chicken’s egg. (No need to torment yourself about which came first the chicken or the egg, when you know your MAKER)! It takes a great scientist to baffle his audience. And the greatest SCIENTIST of all scientists uses foolish things to confuse the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27)constantly and society is baffled by it all. So much like William Blake’s The Lamb, “Little lamb who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?…..” I ask you from whence come your breath?
Everything on you is borrowed especially the breath you breathe, you didn’t acquire it on your own. It’s true that a tiger’s offspring is a cub, from a wolf it’s a pup, from a fox it’s a kit, from humans it’s a baby but we all, man and beast came into being via ONE creator. (Genesis 1:1) Unlike the beast, we were BREATHED into once manually formed. (Genesis 2:7) Our very breath is borrowed! Anyone in their right mind knows when something is borrowed it’s to be respected until it’s returned to its owner. Most people high in respect, while struggling to keep & remain well defined in stature and character yearn to safekeep that which is borrowed intact so that they will always be viewed in society as an honest person. If you’re not in your right mind however, you tend to raise havoc with others after having destroyed that which was borrowed. How can you consider it righteous to anger someone more after tampering with borrowed object and refusing to make amends for the safe keeping of that object? Distorted views has become the new you once you’re at that state. If for a given moment God Himself was to call us to judgment for having wasted His breath in us, no one would be spared. It’s easier for society to reject that God is the creator because of the judgment that comes with not accepting-no one wants to believe that they’re heading towards eternal damnation for not complying but it’s the most and only sure path! Later on before God’s great throne you’ll be reminded that you were forewarned but with that what did you do? Your excuses will not be of worth no matter what they are! When you’re reminded how each breath you used was to curse, criticize, mock, deny, provoke, gossip rather than bless even those that did you wrong, then you’ll understand the worth of the breath you bore, by then it’ll be too late. So while the blood still flows warmly through your veins, your heart beats rhythmically against your chest, while your mind is not fogged but works well accordingly each day; while you breathe this Borrowed Breath, a Godly Gift each day renewed, do with it deeds that you can store and fill in eternal life! If only one soul is what you can bring to the Lord before leaving this wretched world, why not save your own? You never know who’s been watching you as you exit, you might’ve left a legacy of righteousness for others to follow and reach life eternal too! Toil not in vain! Breathe not in vain! Oh living soul Breathe with God’s purpose at heart as WE ARE GOD’S ONE BREATH EXPANDING!
