“I am a joint heir with
Jesus to abiding life, wisdom, love, peace, substance, strength, and power.”
—Charles Fillmore
Rev. Pat Veenema
writes, “The ‘I AM’ presence in you is the same that was in Jesus. Your I AM is
the spiritual perfection of the Christ Idea to which Jesus was completely
awakened. You, too, can awaken to your I AM spiritual identity, and allow that
presence to illumine your thoughts, words, and experiences.”
The I AM is
both individual and universal. We are
all part of God and also part of the God-consciousness. The real source of life is within us. The I AM is the same in all men and
women. It is without limit in its
capacity to express the potentialities of God.
Through the conscious
and subconscious of Mind, we live, move and have our being. It is easy to judge and act upon something
positive or negative, but not so easy when it is happening without our
conscious effort to make it happen.
Rev. Veenema
also said, “I am in God, and God is in me, as me.” I agree and I wouldn’t want my life to be any
different.
When we
bought our home there was one plant in the backyard, a burning bush. Once a year the green leaves turn a bright
red. Eric Butterworth writes, “When
Moses heard God speak in the burning bush, it was a knowing so clear that it
was as if God was speaking to him. He was told to take off his shoes, meaning
to let go of preconceived notions and to become as a little child.” I look at my burning bush and I am reminded
that my I AM is the Christ within me. If
I want to see my life through the eyes of God, then I have to remind myself
where my real source of life is, within, and live that life with God.
