Who Are We?

Leaving the Grandstand World

Today I begin with a new hymn/poem creation entitled, "I Need Thee Every Hour." Next I share a chapter from my book, A Course in Christianity entitled "Who Are We?" and I wrap up this episode with an older poem from episode 100 of this podcast entitled, "The Wise May Bring Their Learning."
---------------------------------------------------
What God creates must be incredible! Amazing. As we go through our life, do we recognize and feel a part of this amazingness? Or is life humdrum, boring? (I almost wrote "boing" leaving the r out of boring). Is life "boing" to you?

What God creates is real. We each have a permanent place in the Mind of God (through Jesus Christ). What are we doing with the Mind of God in which we live and move and have our being? Have we snuffed out our potential with our mundane life? Can we be a bright streak in the sky, exploding for God? Can we truly LIVE? Jesus said He came to give us abundant life. Have you seen your abundant life yet?

It is so easy for us to expand in our minds the Satanic operation here on earth. Make it appear bigger and seemingly more real than it is. Our focus gives it credence it doesn't deserve. We would be much better off utilizing the power God gives us through thought to recognize and be thankful to Him. Why would we choose to use this powerful instrument to make boogie men come alive? To fear? Why waste our God-given power of thought by giving it power and allowing it to poison the permanent place God gave us in His Mind. Are we wasting our amazing mental resources, our direct connection with God through His Son, by being in fear? We need to stop that now.

Jesus gives us peace of mind. There is nothing to fear with Him in our hearts and a focus on Him in our minds. Don't be double minded! If fear of the future haunts you, immediately turn it around and pull the rug out from under the devil. You are far too great to be a victim of Satan and his negative ways.

So just exactly who are we? Are we these bodies we have been inhabiting all these years? Do we "goo-goo" in our youth and dribble in our old age? Are we just these containers? Or are we something more than those?

If we think we are just these bodies, we will identify strongly with everything these bodies put us through. Is that a pragmatic way to go? Sure, they must be taken care of while we reside in this pre-heavenly realm, they must be fed, watered, and exercised but let's not make them gods. Let's not let them rule us. Step away from that type of identity and claim your shared Sonship with Jesus. He IS your way, your truth and, yes, even your life. Try not to forget that!

Does this chapter put a spring to your step? Are you "boinging" a bit now? Good!
