After reading the gnostic Gospel of Thomas in which Jesus asks his disciples "Who am I?", Jesus took one disciple aside and said secret words to him. Upon returning the other disciples asked him what Jesus had said. The disciple said if I tell you, you will throw stones at me (not in those exact words) because I feel this disciple feared the other disciples would be upset with him for comparing himself to Jesus. There have been many guesses to those secret words, but I believe the secret words that Jesus spoke to him was, "I AM YOU".

" I AM YOU"

If you think you will not carry your grief into the next realm, you are mistaken. How are you showing your Faith? By believing that He will give you peace at the end of days for your Faith in Him now? Thinking, I bear all my sufferings now, but because I have Faith in Him, my peace will come later? Now is later. Your soul is eternal. Time has no end of days and even if the earth is gone your soul will still suffer until you learn why you grieve and can heal yourself from it. How you ask?

Learn how great that His Love is for you and love Him first before others. Believe (Hope) he's forgiven you now (he already did the suffering and sacrificing for you on the cross he doesn't want you to suffer) and peace will return in your soul. Then comes your reward. He will gift you with a spiritual love so that you BOTH (you and Him) can be happy NOW. He is a part of you, you are a part of him, (the looking glass lies within). Don't let His sacrifice, His suffering be in vain. Love and happiness comes full circle for you and Him. When you accept the gift of happiness He is giving you, you are returning the favor back at Him. (I Am You). That is the lesson he wants you to tell and show everyone. If they want this reward, this happiness, each individual must come to this knowledge.

Faith, Hope, Love, then comes Knowledge. Don't pick and choose. You must learn the lesson of each and then heal, to see how simple it is be happy. Love yourself, don't abuse yourself whether its drugs, lying, stealing, manipulating or imposing self-punishment and suffering on yourself. You only fool yourself and deny not only your happiness, but His too. And so:

1. Have Faith that He exists.
2. Have belief (Hope) that if you mess up you are forgiven and forgive your abusers (he's a part of you and forgave so you must also)
3. Learn to Love yourself first (don't abuse yourself) and you'll show your loving Faith of Him (he is a part of you).
4. Share your Knowledge how simple it is. (good works)
5. Your soul will be rewarded with eternal happiness Now. Your soul is eternal. Time is infinite regardless if its now or then (end of days). So what are you waiting for? Don't suffer waiting for "then." Enjoy life "now." Make Him happy. (I AM YOU) Always and Forever.
