ways of "seeing"

The title of my blog used to be "what you read is what you get" based on the similar saying "what you see is what you get". But I changed it. And I'm glad I did. What I learned last week is the exact opposite. When I look around all I have ever seen are the physical properties of those things around me, albeit people, houses, hand grenades. (Though I haven't seen any of the latter ever; it's just an example.) In regarding what I see when I look at the people around me, I think I've been "seeing" them all wrong.
Here's the great lesson: we are spirit more than we are physical bodies. God created us "in His image" with a spirit, soul, body, and mind. I have always looked around and just seen all of our physicals (for short) just standing around. But God created us and formed us to have relationship with Him in as spirit, through our spirits and the Holy Spirit. My whole life I have believed that I am Jayna and I have a spirit. Could it be that when I say, "I am Jayna" I am talking about my spirit? So it would be more like I am Jayna and I have a body.
The implications of such a discovery are mind-boggling. If I am spirit and I have always thought of myself as a physical body, then according to the new revelation, I have always "seen" myself wrong. And if I have always "seen" myself wrong, have I ever caught a glimspe of how God sees me? What about how I "see" others? I have never before looked into the spirit of another human being to recognize who he/she was. I have always referred to his/her outer wear. So do I even know or recognize anyone whom I thought I knew or recognized?
What do I do with this revelation? Do I continue to recognize my friends, my aquaintances, my Young Life kids by how their physical bodies look or should I be looking for something else? It seem logical that I should. How do I "see" the "new" Michelle or the "new" Mallory or the "new" Quincy? (Even though said newness isn't that new at all. Only in my perception is it new.) And most importantly, is this the place where the need for ministry to "us" lies, hidden and disguised by the physical of who we are?
