ALL IN THE NAME

Today's reading: Hebrews 1-4

"So now Jesus can the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters." Hebrews 2:11 NLT

The strangest thing happened yesterday.

I was called by my maiden name--and I responded.

I haven't gone by my maiden in over thirty years, 10 months and 2 weeks.

But I still responded.

If only I would do that with the new name Christ gave me over forty-three years ago--holy.

I don't answer to that one as easily.

I don't feel as if I deserve the honor of that name, what so ever.

I cringe when I am called that--thinking of how unworthily I bear the title and the privilege.

And yet, that is what my Father calls me.

And Jesus is not ashamed to call me His sister.

This verse has me really thinking this morning about my name, the name God has given me as His child--holy.
