New Name

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it." Revelation 2.17

There is a name that God knows you by. It isn't the name your parents gave you. It isn't anything that those who seek to tear you down have labeled you with. It isn't anything destructive or self critical you've come to believe about yourself. God has a name He knows you by. It is the name He gave to you when He created you. It is a name the reveals who you really are.

God has a name for you, a name that He personally wants to bestow upon you. This name is one that can only come from God because only God knows it. God wants to tell you what your name is. And I know this might sound crazy, it might sound like a spiritual fantasy that is disconnected from reality, but it isn't. I've experienced this, I've read and talked to others who have experienced this, and I'm currently working with others who are in the process of discovering this.

God knows you by your true name. This name speaks of what you were put on this world to do. It is reveals the characteristics you are called to embody, and it points to the destiny God has put you here to accomplish. If we will be bold enough to seek the identity God has for us, bold enough to to pursue it, embracing the trials and hardships of life, God will bestow upon us a new name, our true name.

TO GOD ALONE BE THE GLORY!
