“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” – Genesis 2:7 KJV

“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” – Jeremiah 31:3 KJV

When God formed man from the dust of the earth He left His fingerprints on humanity; but when He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life a message resonated throughout his heart:  Breathe and be beloved…

Beloved, every breath that you take is a reminder that your being here was no accident; you are here because you are loved of God.

Without His breath we are dust; but with it we are beloved. Therefore breathe and be beloved!
