Personality

I don’t know if this is revelation or imagination, but I want to write it down to contemplate.

When I took upon myself a body and came into this world, I also took upon myself a persona, or personality, which is not my true identity. God descended in the form of Jesus, “made of a woman” and also came into this world, taking upon Himself a persona and experiencing all the emotions of that persona, just as we do—so that He could take it to the death of the cross, thus destroying all persona (the devil) to free us from the bondage that we came into by fearing the death of that persona, since, in our true identity (which is the Christ) we can never die and therefore needn’t fear death.

Hebrews 2:14   Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

I cannot blame another for what I myself create by living out of my human consciousness rather than out of my God consciousness (the “mind of Christ” that we all have (1Corinthians 2:16) but are often unaware of).

Count Everything as Loss

As the time of my departure for Italy (March 9) with my granddaughter draws nearer, I find myself bombarded with the what ifs connected with any unknown adventure. I observe myself attempting to do anything and everything possible to make this a pleasant experience for the both of us. I’ve bought her a hair dryer and hair straightener with dual voltage, purchased our euros and set aside any number of other things I think she may want to take along. I will be joining her tomorrow for our final preparations.
