Names

Names are very important to God. They mean something. All throughout the Bible, God would rename His children when they grew with Him. Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, Saul to Paul, Jacob to Israel. And those are just a few. When you read through the Old Testament, there are lots of names that mark an occasion or a remembrance. Very few mothers casually name their child. Many think of it for years, and of course, in the nine months of pregnancy. The name is something the child has to live with for the rest of their life, so it has got to be great.

My personal desire is that God will adjust my name, too, as a sign that I have grown with Him as well...
