When I first met Scott Smith (my old BSU Director at Lander U), he talked a lot about this question. He said it was the second most important question in life. That question scared me, because I had fallen into a world of broken mirrors. Those mirrors had decided to point out all the things that are “wrong” with me, and deep down inside I thought that’s what Jesus was going to do, too. When I finally let Jesus in, he set me free.
Scott reminded me that God’s names for me were: chosen son, rain that fertilizes and makes things grow, protected, and most of all LOVED. He reminded me that my life may have been a mess but it was a beautiful mess, a perfect artwork, and that even in the ashes of my darkness God was making a fertile and wild garden.
It is so easy buy in to the names that the world has for us… The world has no problem pointing out our short comings and issues and if we let it, pretty soon we start to see ourselves through that lens.
Never forget that you are wonderfully and beautifully made! You are made in the perfect image of God Himself and that gives you all of the value you will ever need. If you follow Christ then you have a beautiful name to go with that beautiful image. CHRISTIAN.
Wear it with humble pride in the knowledge that you too are a: chosen son or daughter, that you are the rain that fertilizes and should make people grow, that you are protected, and most of all… YOU ARE LOVED!!!!!
