Breathe on me Breath of God

As winter approaches and we begin to see the response of the warm air within us reacting to the cold outside of us, my mind has been thinking about the Breath of God. The Breath which speaks Words of life. In the beginning there was the nothing, until the Breath of God, His Spirit, (The Hebrew word for spirit is Ruach – literally breath) hovers and begins life.

That same Spirit, that same Breath, came to Moses and the prophets as they spoke the words of God.

That same Spirit, that same Breath, which hovered over the waters of creation, hovered over Mary, to bring to birth the Living Word, the word made flesh. Just as that same Breath breathed the image of God into humaniy in the beginning, so that same Breath brought the fullness of the image of God into being. That Word which brings to life a new hope and a new beginning.

That same Breath brings the Word to a world that longs for a new creation. That same Breath brings the possibility of a new order, a new reign, a new creation – hovering, breathing, speaking, That Word made flesh, comes into the reality of our world, the hopes and fears, the joys and disappointments, the challenges and opportunities to speak and breathe life.

That same Breath comes to us, fills us, moves us, empowers us and makes us his children again.

This Christmas, catch your own breath. Breathe with the breath of God. Be filled with the Breath of God and begin to see what He has for His world.
