Core

Core is defined as: the central and often foundational part; the inmost or most intimate part; a basic, essential or enduring part.

Brennan stated that the core is Jesus, not self.

From birth I am all about me, self. How can I not be? I am what I am. I am all I am. I exist as I am. And yet God called Himself I AM. So what does that tell me? I might think i am, but really He IS! I breathe, think, feel, act, move - every iota of my existence seems to be about me, me and me. So if Jesus is the core then i am not! If Jesus is the central and foundation, the inmost and most intimate, the basic, essential and enduring part - then where do i fit in?

It is a revelation to imagine allowing Jesus to truly be the core of me. The thought of it is very freeing. I am so burdened down by being me - somehow the image of me being secondary is, well...life altering. It is a shift in thinking - whats the term for that? More later....
