The story behind the idea

In fact, I was just reading the lyrics a little while ago, and this idea of God just breathing life back into us is just amazing. It is going to be a genuine pleasure to share those lyrics with you today and just make a few comments along the way. First, I want to share with you a few things that are coming up this month.

What stands out

Kenny Imbry and others have poured their heart and soul and pocketbooks into this project to make it professional and powerful. I believe they're worth supporting for their effort, but really the value here is for you. Again, take some time and go visit balancing the Christian Life dot com.

Why it matters

You can see yourself being embraced by the Son of God as he breathes upon you the spirit of life in your heart.

A faithful way forward

I by no means believe this song is just for the new convert. I've been a Christian for most of my life, but I still know pain.

Put it into practice

Let me just give you a couple of quick thoughts here at the end. If you're in pain, if you're confused, if you're overcome, Jesus is the only and always healer of what is broken and answer to what is unknown. Use the power you've been mustering to cope or try harder and turn the attention into running directly to him. When you get there and you feel that collision and his arms folding around you, you must make that a moment of full surrender.

Think about it

Take the idea with you.
