What is your name? Do you worry about what others call you? I have had my name shortened, mispronounced and misspelled, I have been labeled and relabeled, but, am I bothered by this? No! Because I know that God has a new name for me, and when he calls me by that name, at the right time, he will give me the discernment, and I will answer, ‘Yes Lord, here I am’.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, God knows my name and he also knows your name. His word reminds us, that, before we were born he knew us, he set us apart for his purpose, and so, those whom God set apart, he called; and those he called, he put right with himself, and he shared his glory with them; and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Therefore, let us follow him closely, learning to listen to his voice, so that at the appointed time and he calls us by name, we could boldly say, ‘Here I am Lord, send me’.
