You Are Love: Realizing the Presence of Jesus Within You | What If It’s Not You Reading This… But Him?
“God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.” – 1 John 4:16
“It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” – Galatians 2:20
“In Him we live, and move, and have our being.” – Acts 17:28
Love is not something we reach for; it’s what we already are in Him. This Presence you’ve been sensing in moments of peace, that warmth in your chest, that awareness behind your thoughts, that’s Him. You’re waking up to Him. That’s the Love that never left.
Your whole body is full of Love.
Your whole body IS Love and Bliss.
Do you feel It? Do you feel Him? The One who died so we could become (aware of) this?
Don’t continue reading until you stop. And feel.
I feel It as I type, as if the Love Itself is typing.
As if the Love Itself is desiring for you to know It, too.
Not as a thought.
But as the warmth in your chest.
The fire in your eyes.
The vibration in your hands, your feet…
Once, as St. Teresa of Ávila was walking up the stairs of her convent, she encountered a beautiful child.
He looked at her and asked, “Who are you?”
She replied, “I am Teresa of Jesus.”
And He answered, “I am Jesus of Teresa.”
That was an encounter with the Child Jesus. Her whole life changed that instant. Her devotion deepened. She never took another step without Him- and realized that she had never done so before. You have never done so.
He is that close.
He also calls Himself, “Jesus of Nikki”, and, “Jesus of ______(your name)”. He loves you that much.
He’s with you that much.
He is you in the most intimate way.
You are coming to the realization right now that it’s Him that’s breathing.
He’s focusing your eyes,
comprehending these words.
He’s aware of the Love.
When you’re aware of the Love, that’s the ultimate union.
You are aware of yourself as Him.
His hands. His feet. His mind that only wants to save.
You, like St. Paul, are sitting there as Him.
As the Christed One.
It’s a subtle but dangerously powerful shift.
What you decree, He placed in your mouth.
Can you trust that? Try it today.
Heal someone today.
I love you,
nik
p.s. As you sit today, keep shifting back into this truer Identity and notice that when you are Love, there’s a Peace that makes no sense. There’s no begging. No seeking. No waiting. No needing. No solving or trying to figure anything out. Just… KNOWING. Just BEING… Radiating. Uninterrupted Faith.
Share this post with someone who needs to be reminded that they already are Love, that they already are His.
SEE YOU TOMORROW!
SIT WITH US EACH MORNING ON SILENT RETREAT!
