Original Me Daily Exercise!

Retro Celebrated Original Me You Are Created To Be God Love JesusIn just a few minutes daily you can transform (reprogram) the image you have of yourself into the image God, because that is who you are designed to be. God created you in the image of the Relationship of F,S,S!

Col 1:27 – the mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory! 

Remember that the beauty of the gospel is that Jesus has already invited and accepted us into His life as ONE with the Father, not that you have invited Jesus into yours.

There is an awakening upon us. A reformation of “re-knowing” what has always been known by God. It is an awakening and renewal in which we recognize (re-know) the Father, Son, Spirit in us – that has never left us nor forsaken us. Adam lost what He knew. Jesus is the second Adam re-knowing what Adam previously knew. You are One with Jesus. This reformation will be a birthing of what has already been created in us by Jesus (Oneness with God, in which we discover each other as He sees Us. We are together His Bride). For some, this birthing process will be more painful than for others. But, it is only a temporary pain that yields to the birth of Joy in us! The same Joy that lead Him to the cross. (For the Joy set before Him He endured the cross. Hebrews 12:2) Give yourself a chance to re-know (recognize) who you really are as God sees you.

 Love/God Never Fails – I Corinthians 13:4-13

I Corinthians 13 Love Original Me Exercise

    • Read through this message in the examples below every day (or as often as you choose).
    • Read it out loud. Read it so you can hear yourself saying the words. Read it with your heart, not just your eyes!
    • Read it twice.

The first time read it and substitute “God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit)” instead of “Love” before each separate thought. The second time read it and substitute “I am” or “I” instead of “Love” before each separate thought. For example:

#1

      • God is patient and kind
      • God rejoices in truth
      • God believes the best in others
      • God always protects, always hopes, faithfully endures
      • God is never envious or prideful
      • God is not self-glorifying
      • God is not provoked
      • God keeps no record of wrongs
      • God never fails

#2

      • I am patient and kind
      • I rejoice in truth
      • I believe the best in others
      • I always protect, always hope, faithfully endure
      • I am never envious or prideful
      • I am not self-glorifying
      • I am not provoked
      • I keep no record of wrongs
      • I with God/Love in Me never fails. When I disregard the Relationship of God (F,S,S) in me I fail.

Original Me is You + God as One. Because God (Love) is in Me, ALL things are possible! Number 2 is true because Father, Son & Spirit are in you. Only in your Oneness with God is this true. If you have not experienced God in this way; it is yet still true, just not true for you in your experience. (That is your relative reality… the shadow world of your own darkness, so to speak). It is only true for You when you recognize and agree that you are One with God in Jesus! Oneness with God is given by God, not earned by you (religion). The only response needed on your end is to let the Relationship of F,S,S be God in you, which starts with letting God love you. “You got the power,” and the power is Love! You can receive God (Love), because God has already accepted you into the Relationship of God. The Father, Son and Spirit are ONE in you because they are never separated. God is ONE. And we are ONE with God through/in/with Jesus. What is true about Jesus is ultimately and absolutely true about you! He is our righteousness! He is your true identity! He is an example of you.

If #2 feels uncomfortable to you, it is OK to understand that this may not be your past or current experience, but it can be! Your Original Me can… because it is who you really are. For many (probably most) our Original Me is not what we have experienced so far in this life? OK, we can deal with that because you have God’ power to change your understanding of youself and your life – you can grow in who you really are. You can remind yourself daily until it becomes your experience. If you need some time to adjust to this truth of who you are, you can substitute “God in me” for “I am.” See if that feels easier to believe as true? Either way, the real you is God in you (you and God) coauthoring your life as the F,S,S offers the truth of their Relationship (Love) to you! 

There are two Scriptural truths underlying this exercise of Original Me.

  • The first is that God is Love (1 John 4:8, 1 John 4:16) – “God is fundamentally and essentially LOVE: not merely is loving.” – Jamieson, Fausset, Brown Commentary. As you have already noticed, I’m using the identity construct: GOD = the Relationship of F,S,S = LOVE.
  • The second is that We are One with God through an intimate relationship with Jesus. We are invited into Jesus (Jesus in us). The question that everyone must answer is, “do I recognize and believe that Jesus (God) loves me and that God has already forgiven me (for my healing) and included me into the Relationship of God?” (see the book of John)

Some may say this is impossible, but all things are possible with Him – Matthew 19:26! If the God of the universe created me to live in me, what does that look like and feel like? Begin (or continue) your Original Me journey in this moment, and each time as you do this exercise!
