When God breathed into man the "Breath of Life",  I personally believe that He filled a place, a place that He had created within man--in his brain, in his heart, in his soul...wherever it is--that is unique, not found in any other species.  A place that He, God,  intended to fill, to live in.

In Job 33:4, Job speaks with total understanding of what this means.  " The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life."  Like I said yesterday, without life, you're dead.

So God created man and entrusted him with all a man could ever want.  But Adam disobeyed God.   So God placed a curse on him and removed him--threw him out--of the garden.  Along with his wife.  The only thing they got to take with them was  'skin-coats'.   They now had to work for a living.  No house, no food, no place to go.  At the mercy of the elements.  At the mercy of Satan.

And their children, and their grand children would be born without the Breath of God.   And without access to the Tree of Life.  How could you bear it.  How could you bear the thought that your children would never know what it meant to walk in the garden with God or to have him as your friend.  And know that it was your fault.

But God had a plan to put Life  back in the human race.  However, until this plan came to pass,  people were born empty with no hope of being filled with God's Spirit.  Born looking for something to fill the void in their lives.

We try to fill our lives with stuff.  With any number of things that destroy us.  Things that kill our sensitivity.  Today the term is "Making wrong choices".  (God calls it sin.)  Animals don't do this.  We do.

People today are still born empty, but now there is hope.
