The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 33:4
When God blew from his own breath into the dust body of man, man came alive and knew who he was and Who God was. Your understanding of yourself and your understanding of God are intricately intertwined. You can not know fully who you are until you know who God is. Until you recognize that God is the one Who has given you your life-the One Who has formed and fashioned you with a specific plan and destiny in mind-you cannot find either peace or sense of purpose. It's time we stop other people breath on us their plans and start looking close into the face and heart of God for our identity.
Until we allow God to breath upon us and breath into us His Spirit,
we will be vulnerable to any person and anything that comes along that seeks to define us, and in defining us, manipulates and controls us. There are many who get up everyday "just swinging" just beating the air. They are in a fight, but they don't know what they are fighting about. The person who is just flailing away is someone who is without purpose or goals, without direction or impact. They know they are in a struggle but don't know who with. The result is that at the days end they are exhausted, frusterated and angry. They virtually have no ability to win.
But the person who gets up everyday knowing who they are battling is a person who can fight with purpose and intelligence and direction.
In order to win you must know that God is the source of your life and that you have an enemy of your eternal spirit, and that God your Source will help you defeat your enemy. It is only when you come to that awareness that life makes sense.
If you don't know that God is your Source and the devil is your enemy, life can overwhelm you. There are to many issues and situations that just don't make sense, don't connect, don't produce as they should, or don't fit.
Say to yourself today, "The Spirit of God has made me. The Breath of God is giving me life
Don't let anyone breath his or her identity or plans into you except God.

Why are you living for anything else?
You live because you live. Thats it, that's all. If you need more, then I feel bad for you that you can't find value in your life without living for something else.
