Souls formed in the Mind of God

 I am formed in the mind of God. He creates me and knows me before I'm formed in the womb, before conception. 

Neither male nor female, he places my spirit into the embryo formed at the meeting of sperm and egg. My soul takes shape, intellect and will and emotional regulation are given templates by the type of body into which I come. The two sets of DNA that come together also have their big say. I'm racially determined, physically sculpted, traits passed down in genes are printed onto my nascent soul.

The parents chosen for me and all the aforementioned have to do with the forging of my soul into the image of Christ. O sea, each minutiae detail deliberately picked so my soul can be shaped to its truest and best form.

At the very least, all is made to work together for the good for this said purpose. 

I'm being shaped into the image of his Son, the highest form of perfection to be had by the human form, a perfection of morality and obedience to God. The "trust & obey" and "walk in true fellowship" prototype to later join as being among the many brothers of the firstborn-- redeemed and whole and resurrected.

Family and friends and finances and food all conspire in the completion of this project, forging souls that fulfill purpose, potential, before being returned to God.

The kernel of ourselves, the spirit that still communes with the heavenly is subsumed into this process of soul transformation, mimicking its characteristics and being sensitive, or not, to the world to which it truly belongs, the world of spirit, the world of Spirit, and communion with God.

Till it returns to the Father from which it proceeded, all contracts nullified, no longer married or father or such, newly neuter and neutral, as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end.
