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. 🕊️
