TODAY’S ENCOURAGEMENT: Heard on playgrounds from the UK to the US is a saying which works, “Sticks and stones might break my bones however names won’t ever damage me.” In case you’ve by no means heard this outdated adage, it merely implies that detrimental phrases don’t damage you. From your personal experiences you may concur that the assertion is solely not true. Names have a approach of attaching themselves, turning into enmeshed in our being. Names form us, determine us and mark us. They carry weight.
How blessed we’re that we belong to the Lord and even whereas we had been nonetheless within the womb He known as us by title (Isaiah 49:1). And God doesn’t simply name us by title based mostly on outer look, He calls us in response to our potential, simply as He did when He modified Abram’s title to Abraham and when Jesus modified Simon’s title to Peter.
It doesn’t matter what folks have known as us, it doesn’t matter what we’ve known as ourselves, God is aware of us, loves us and calls us by title. He calls us beloved, baby, elect, and pal. In a world with a lot labeling and name-calling, there may be ONE who is aware of us and calls us by title.
PRAY: Lord, I thank You for figuring out me, loving me and for calling me by title. I discover consolation in figuring out that I’m The one you love and Your pal. I reject the names and labels which have been positioned on me l and stroll within the liberty of being known as Your baby. In Jesus Christ’s title, I pray. Amen.
REFLECT: In what methods have names formed you? Are there any names that you could let go of?
