Exodus 33:17 (NKJV) 17 So the Lord said to Moses, \u201cI will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Disappointment in the choices we make, or the things others have done to us, can cause us to not like ourselves.<\/p>\n

We can be so angry at ourselves that we don\u2019t even like our own name. We deny the connection to try and get rid of this feeling.<\/p>\n

The very name that God calls to Himself, we say no, that\u2019s not me.<\/p>\n

If God can call us by our name, then we too should be able to accept it as our identity no matter the damage done to it.<\/p>\n

One day, as I sat in my car, tears running down my face because I was reminded of some things I had been through, it left me in a state of hating my own name. I didn\u2019t want to associate with that name, so I hid from it within myself.<\/p>\n

But God, as loving, kind, and gentle as He is, said to me that day in the car, \u201cI love you and your full name.\u201d<\/p>\n

It hit me. I was hiding from it, hoping to find some relief from certain events or moments that took place in past years.<\/p>\n

If we can forget our name, then it all goes away, right? Wrong. It’s just hidden.<\/p>\n

God knows our name. It will always be our name. We can\u2019t simply forget our own name and make the past go away. It doesn’t work that way.<\/p>\n

But we can<\/i> make things right. We can face what is making us be in such denial.<\/p>\n

We can forgive ourself for the choices we made under that name. And we can forgive those who deliberately brought attacks upon us under that name.<\/p>\n

But changing our name will never get rid of our past; it will not give us the peace that we so desperately desire.<\/p>\n

God knows our name.<\/p>\n

Our name is ours for life. Let Him repair the damage as we face it.<\/p>\n
