Today, in church with Chet, we talked about our favorite names we’ve been given. Miss liked boomer and moochay. Tay preferred Tscott. Krit preferred Krit. I liked my Missi’s renaming of Eugenius, and her short choice of genius. Issues, yes, I’ve got them..
I also asked everyone to pick the most hurtful name they’ve been called by another. These were very personal and emotional. Taylors broke my heart. Actually, they all did.
We listened to the song, Lovely, by Twenty One Pilots and then I read them Ephesians 2: 8-10. I asked them tell me the name that God calls them. Nobody got it, until I read it again. We all need these kinda reminders. After the second read, Tscott told his Mom and Sissy that God sees him as Tscott-Masterpiece. God love him.
You see, God sees us as his masterpiece and it even gets better. I asked Tscott to tell me more. He did. Tscott told me, moochay, and Krits that God sees us as his magnum OPUS, His great work. Are you freakin’ kidding me? Nope. I’m not. God’s magnum OPUS is you and me. So, next time somebody tells you that you aint shit, that you’re a bitch, that you’re too short, too stupid, too much or too little, remember that God does NOT use foul language when it comes to Y.O.U.. He sees Y.O.U. and says to himself and to all the Saints that surround him, “Hey, Look, there is Y.O.U. , my masterpiece, my magnum OPUS.
Your identity is powerful. Do NOT listen to just anyone’s perspective. Ask God for His…
