ID me God!
“Search me, and know me.” King David
Search me and know me, you who formed me;, inform me, over time, through experience, as to who i am. A new creation particularly nuanced in You. Identity is something we discover together-I and God who gradually reveals to us who we are. We do so as we gaze and enter Him and His Life. That is our path of self discovery—to stare at and enter into The Life of Jesus. 
Our identities are found by entering the life of Jesus ever more deeply. This supplies the basic human need to know who I am. We begin to know who we truly are, as we delve into and commune with The Life of Jesus. There are basically three universal human needs: who am I; what brings meaning or purpose to my life: how do I live well. The first is a problem of identity. We were born under amnesia, and one of the great fruits of coming to Jesus, is our version of ourselves awakens. Here, i mean our eternal selves. Our white stone selves. Who I am is literally hidden in Christ.
 
So as we delve into His Life, who we truly are, gets gradually revealed to us-the white stone fades into view. And our path becomes visible. I knew you in the womb, therefore, I called you to do these things, He says to Jeremiah. Our pathway matches our identity. That is, our way of life—how to live well, and what is ours to tend, gets revealed as we press in to the Life of Christ. The “how to” gets answered in Acts 2—we study the word, we fellowship, we actively commune with and remember Christ, and His New Covenant. 
Who am I? Is one hidden in in union with Christ. I am the one known and found in Him. Then He chooses how to gradually reveal us to ourselves over time as we can handle it—we see as in a fogged glass-even ourselves. Yet, our faces come clearer as we go, as we grow in Him and His Life. 
Identity is founded and discovered in Him. Identity is revealed by Him.
Jesus says to Peter, now that you have seen me, let me tell you who you are. We get to know our true selves, by looking at who Jesus is. It’s a 180 turn from unhealthy introspection; to turning all our attention onto Jesus and who He is, and trying to enter His Life more deeply. 
In short, we come to know ourselves by focusing on knowing more of His Life and who He is. Focus solely on who Jesus is, and you will be lead to yourself.
The law or torah is like a standard or clear picture of how things are meant to be. It is spiritual or perfect; but we are not perfect. We cannot even see ourselves, so we need the law to tell us what to do. But what Jesus does is become the torah or law, and write that on our hearts our core identity. So that He is making our core identities align with The Father’s Laws or ways. 
But the story about Jesus is what prophecy is! The whole story of who He is, and what He has done, and is doing—that is the essence of what all true prophecy is about. That’s a way to test words to see if false or true. Are they in the stream of the true testimony about Jesus Christ. Does it lead us into His Life. To meditate on it, to enter in some aspect of Jesus life etc. That is in the stream of prophecy. Does this word lead me to Jesus Himself. It’s a simplifying technique—is this about Jesus. The essence of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus. And then to know ourselves is to enter into His Story or the stream of His Testimony about Himself. In doing so, we come to know ourselves. We become acts of prophecy in Him.
Our true identities are also inviolable and eternal in Him. This is why Paul asks us repeatedly to just stay “in Him”. The fact is that part which is “in Him” is our true self. In this sense, we find ourself by losing ourself in Jesus! This is why union with His Life is the highest state of being. United with and in Him, we know ourselves. That is our home. He comes and dwells and makes home in us, and we are home. We are ourselves. 
The practical is we confess our dying nature, and enter our being renewed nature daily. The way of the cross leads home. We shed our false skin as we enter into His—we cloth ourselves in Christ; we wear His Mind! We come to Him to know ourselves. Our hiddiness in Him is also our source of all action outwardly. We act from this place of communion with Christ. So it is the main space to nurture. It is the seat of our actions outwardly. We come home to go out.
The life of the spirit is this inner chamber with Christ, and getting to it often, so that our outer lives flow from our Center with and in Him. Help me live in and from You today Lord. Then our actions will flow from this secret place in Him and with Him. Our outer will reflect our inner. A tree is seen by its fruit, but grown at its roots and from its roots.
These roots are meant to be grounded in Him Himself and His Loving Nature. Then others will see the fruits grown in this soil. The soil of His Being.
The daily practice of union with Him is our practice.
Union brought into Him
from our hiddenness i saw myself and gave to others
This inner communion is my timeless home from which i carry my wine and chimes, out to the outer banquets in time.
We are the ones eccplised in His Son’s Song go be sung. 
 We are searched and known better than we can know ourselves. Paul said, i cannot even judge myself; only God can fully see me.
Peter’s “living hope, through His resurrection”. In the light of this hope and the 2nd coming, live well. 
Living in Him, is a spiritual autobiography about Jesus. My own calling is to abide within Him, to live in Him. Union might be the mystics title. I’m interested in constant union with Christ, as the way to be who we truly are. He desires to reveal His true Images through our true image.  And yet, as all my friends know, i do not live in constant union with Christ. I bump back and forth and interrupt Him often. Lord come clear in me, reveal me to myself in You, and reveal Yourself in and through my life. Project Your True Identity into mine, so that others see only You in me, and the poem I am is a conduit of the Poem You Forever are!
