A Name
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. (Isaiah 43:1)
God calls each of us by name … What name?
Did God have a special name picked out for me?
Is my name the name God would have chosen?
Does God have a ‘pet’ name for me …
something that endears me to my Creator?
If I chose to change my name –
Does it mess things up in heaven?
Do I become ‘missing’ on a heavenly listing?
What name does God love to call me?
What name does God love to be called?
Abba? – Father
Mama? – Mother
I just want God to call me when my time is up.
On that day I’ll listen for my name
and rush with joy to the One who wanted me to be.
Hmmmm – should I make sure God knows all the names I’ve been called in this life?! Just thinking….
