First perception

Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in your mother’s womb I chose you.
Before you were born I set you apart.
I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”
 First

 

When was the first time I had a thought ... the day I was conceived?

When was the first time that I heard a voice ... the first time I believed?

 

When came my first dream to be ... and did I embrace reason?

When came awareness into play ... was I still out of season?

 

When was I born in the Heart of God ... when did I come to Life?

When I was so wonderfully constructed and how did I get to know my wife?

 

Did I meet her in the dawning of ... in my Life that was to be?

Was it long before I remember ... when I was fully free?

 

Was it before time began ... when I was in the making?

What about my children ... were they for the taking?

 

Where do my parents fit ... and theirs and theirs and on?

I know it is not mine to know ... who cares let’s just go on.

 

I just can’t go on this way ... my reason needs the nurture

if it is not in the here and now ... it will be in past and future.
