Names, the ones we’re given and the ones we give ourselves, are important because they identify us. They are a part of us.

Maybe you’ve been internalizing, taking on some life-taking, wound-inflicting names—old, slow, stupid, failure, fat, ugly, failure, drug addict, worthless.

In the name of Jesus, stop believe those things. In the name of Jesus, accept that you too are a child of God who is loved beyond measure. In the name of Jesus know that your now can be different than your then.
