A Wednesday Word: Named

It's so easy for us to adopt the names that others have given us. It's even easier for us to adopt the names we've given ourselves.

Lazy. Angry. Scared. Dumb. Unsuccessful. Failure.

No matter how many times we have heard these names, no matter how many times we have said these names, they are not who we really are.

Who we are is Beloved.

This is the simple, radical truth.

You are BELOVED.

​Call yourself by your real name.
