Just recently, I saw a Facebook post about names given to children. Someone was dismayed that so many people were now giving their babies "old people" names.
I thought this was amusing because all names are given to babies first, and they only become old names when the baby grows into an old person.
It pleases me to know that God has a name for me that no one else knows, not even me. He will have a perfect name that describes me personally, and it is between Him and me.
Jesus Christ died to pay the debt of my sins, offered it to me merely by faith in Him, came to live in me, cleansing me every day until He takes me home. He answers my questions, brings understanding to things I could not have understood on my own and carries me through all the difficulties of life. Those difficulties have stretched and grown me in ways unexplainable to anyone else. He makes my path straight in ways I could never do myself.
Jesus Christ knows me and loves me better than anyone else could; it's why I trust Him.
Proverbs 3:5-6
"5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight."
Anyone can have this if they want it, just by believing Christ and desiring to be cleansed by Him.
