Any breath left?

I heard a political leader explain their new multimillion project,
“Everything that is worth something can fail because it always involves a risk.”
Christ came to this world to look for a precious pearl and he found, us.
What did he see?
Why was he so determined to redeem us?
I believe that he saw in us himself like he had never seen before.
He saw people’s eternal value and treated them accordingly.
All those who had failed and ruined their earthly opportunities
found a rescue in him.
I like how the book of Psalms ends with saying,
“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!”
Psalm 150:6
That might be the only thing that people have left in their lives.
After loosing their jobs, families, health and reputation, they only have
their “breathing” left.
Praise and thanksgiving that rises from that kind of a soul must sound
like the most beautiful symphony in heaven’s chambers.
As the song says it, ”You are the air I breath…”
