The eternal me

O.k been spinning over and over Jeremiah 1:5. So God knew me before I was in my mother's womb, he sanctified me then ordained me a prophet to the Nations.

This has been blowing my mind since my Pastor started preaching on discovering the Eternal Me! So I am not my flesh, I am not what I look like in terms of my body or physique because I was known before that was even created. Also despite the weakness of flesh, time and space - God had already sanctified me and then ordained me to be prophet to the Nations.

I looked up the definitions of the 3 key words: knew, sanctified and ordained and all 3 words are pretty profound when you look at the depth of their meaning:

Knew - past tense of know:
To perceive directly, grasp in the mind with clarity and certainity
To regard as true beyond doubt
To have fixed in the mind
To be acquainted with
To discern the character or nature of

Sanctify:
To be set apart for sacred use; consecrate
To make Holy; purify
To give religious sanction to, as with an oath or vow
To make productive of holiness or spiritual blessing

Ordain:
To invest with ministerial or priestly authority; confer holy orders on

Am on a voyage of discovery to draw nearer to God and in so doing discover the Eternal Me...the me that God knows! The me, that is above the confines of flesh, time and space. Sometimes I get a glimpse of who that is and there is such an unsatisfaction with my current state because I know I am far from that person.

Thankfully I am in the right place and under the right spiritual leadership to find my true identity in God. I am already that, its just a matter of my mind, spirit and heart aligning to that which has already been known and created.
