What Is Your Name?
What Is Your Name?
This summer while my friend was traveling I got to stay at her beautiful place. I enjoyed my time relaxing, catching up with friends, and watching her dogs Maggie and Murphy. Murphy has recently been adopted and is now a new addition to the family. I got to meet adorable-magnetic-personality-Murphy for the first time and learned many lessons from him, but one thing really stuck with me. When my friend came back from her trip, I noticed she repeatedly would say to him; “What’s your name little boy?... Murphy!... Murphy Brown is your name!” She changed his name when she adopted him and constantly reminds him that he, indeed, is now Murphy! Murphy Brown! I love watching Murphy’s eyes light up, as well as his cheerful confidence and sense of gratitude, every time my friend reminds him of who he is!
Just like Murphy, we must learn that our Heavenly Father has given us the name, Priceless-Masterpiece-Un-like-NO-other. Truly knowing who we are, will help us respond to the challenges we encounter in our daily living with a healthy attitude. Regardless of our background, our past or present circumstances, we need to understand and embrace our uniqueness! The fact that we are un-like-no-other means we don’t need to compare ourselves to anyone else because we are custom-built. Each and every part of who we are, how we look, and the way we do things, has a purpose and a function that was designed just for us for a reason. Murphy displays a great example of contentment, confidence, and gratitude of whom he has been adopted to be… free to be himself, be loved, and excited to respond and carry his name well!
What is your name?!... Your name is Priceless-Masterpiece-Un-like-NO-other! Priceless-Masterpiece-Un-like-NO-other IS YOUR NAME! Be a great YOU! The AMAZING you that Your Maker has skillfully designed you to be!
Ephesians 2:10
