The Creation of Man
Creation was nearly finished. The sky stretched wide and blue, the sun cast its golden light, and the earth was filled with towering trees, flowing rivers, and creatures of every kind. Yet, something was missing.
The Creator longed to make a being unlike any other—one that would reflect His own nature, a creation made in His image. So, with great care, He knelt upon the earth, scooped up the dust in His mighty hands, and began to shape it. Bit by bit, He formed the first man, crafting every detail with love and purpose. But the figure remained lifeless, just an empty shell.
Then, in a moment of divine power, God leaned in and breathed His very own breath into the man’s nostrils. Instantly, life filled his body. His chest rose, his eyes opened, and for the first time, Adam took a deep breath of the fresh air around him. He was alive—awakened into a beautiful world created just for him.
