I went through a little exercise about 4 years ago, the result is in the video above, with the encouragement of a counselor at Southbrook Christian Church. He had told me about the exercise, because he came up with it himself. He spoke what is called his True Profile to me, and I was amazed that someone could memorize something like that. The exercise is about being who God created you to be. I think I had forgotten who I was in Christ, and this exercise helps me to remember who I am. The words and verses have evolved with me, as God has changed me, and given me new things to work on. I think it’s a good exercise for anyone, you can read more about it here: True Profile by Randy Creamer

To shed some humor on the situation, i‭‭n a hilariously similar way, the exercise reminds me of Stuart Smalley’s Daily Affirmations from Saturday Night Live. See also, Michael Jordan with Stuart Smalley.

BEFORE YOU READ TODAY’S PASSAGE…
STOP: Lord, where is my heart today?
LOOK: Lord, help me discover new truth from your Word today.
LISTEN: Lord, what is your thought for me today from your Word?

For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it. What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose or forfeit themselves?

‭‭‭‭Luke‬ ‭9:24-25‬ ‭NRSV‬‬

RESPOND:
Lord, what do I need to talk with You about?
Lord, what are you asking me to do?
