God Knows Your Name

The LORD knows those who are His.  – 2 Timothy 2:19

Do you ever struggle with the question “Who am I, really?”  

How often do your past shame and regrets start you believing that God really hasn’t forgiven you?  How often are you searching for a sense of belonging, but feel unknown or forgotten?  

Nicole Nordeman’s song, Name addresses this:

You are still a promise, the heartbeat of God.
You may have forgotten, but He has not.
You are not your ashes, you are a flame.
Do not ask the shadows, the light of the world knows,
Knows your name.

It’s easy to forget who God made us to be, especially when the world around us sends such confusing messages about our identity.  

The enemy, lurking in the shadows of your life, will use anything to get you to believe lies about yourself.  He’ll whisper that you’re unworthy, unattractive, unwanted, and unloved.  If you listen, you’ll eventually begin to believe that these words define you.  But Jesus is the light of the world.  Step closer to Him and He will give you a supernatural confidence to claim your identity in Him alone.  

Nicole’s song goes on to remind us of these truths, You Are:
  • A Friend of God’s
  • God’s Daughter
  • Blameless 
  • Forgiven
  • A Slave No More
  • God’s Saint
  • His Child
  • Redeemed
  • Beautiful
  • Chosen
  • Safe and Sound in His Arms

When your mind is hijacked and dragged into the shadows, step away from the darkness, step into the light, and be reminded who you are and whose you are.  God not only knows your name, He knows simply everything about you because you are His.  Thank Him for your true identity.
