Gospel's breath.

 Here is an original poem weaving the Gospel of Jesus with Scripture, crafted as a prayer to God:

### **"Gospel Breath"**  

*A Poem to God*  


You spoke the world to life—  

Yet spoke again in human cries  

When *"the Word became flesh"* (John 1:14)  

And heaven’s light met earth’s deep sighs.  


You wore our dust, our ache, our night,  

Bore every wound our sin deserved.  

*"He was pierced for our rebellion"* (Isaiah 53:5)  

While we, the lost, were undeserved.  


Then silence—cold and stark—a tomb…  

But oh! The stone rolled wide and bright!  

*"Death could not hold Him"* (Acts 2:24)  

Your resurrection *is* our light!  


Now mercy flows where judgment reigned:  

*"While we were sinners, Christ still died"* (Romans 5:8).  

Your grace, a flood no sin contains—  

The cross *our* pardon, *Your* reply.  


So let this truth remake my soul:  

*"In Christ, I am made new"* (2 Corinthians 5:17)!  

Your Gospel’s fire has made me whole—  

A rebel claimed, a child set free.  


One day, all knees will bow and see  

The scars that wrote eternity.  

*"Every tongue confess You Lord"* (Philippians 2:11)—  

Till then, my heart cries: *"Come restore!"*

### ✨ **Why This Gospel?**  

This is the *"power of God for salvation"* (Romans 1:16)—  

Not rules to follow, but a **Rescuer to embrace**.  

Not a philosophy, but a **Person who conquered death**.  

Not a religion, but a **relationship that remakes us**.  


> *"Taste and see that the Lord is good;  

> Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him."*  

> **—Psalm 34:8**


May these words draw you deeper into His grace.  

He is near. 🕊️
