“What is your name?” the man asked.

And [in shock 😨of realisation, whispering] he replied, “Jacob” [supplanter, schemer, tricker, swindler]⚠️😮‍💨!”

“From now on you will be called Israel👑…

Genesis 32: 27 – 28 (NLT, AMPC)

{Your name will no longer be condemned. From now on you will be called Beloved, wholly accepted.}

 

Hi there beloved of God! I just wanted to highlight this verse to you and let you know that every label you’ve carried that doesn’t speak of the unlimited and unfailing mercy and kindness of God is not your narrative! You are wholly accepted by God! 

 

Nurturing as I am being nurtured,

Thank you for joining me and reading, I hope this has spurred you to explore the Scripture cited in this post further and grow in your knowledge of God.

There's so much I don't know -  but this I do: God loves you, and extravagantly so. Growth is slow. That's okay. Be content with the revelation that comes gradually. Say, "My soul, never be offended by the Bible." And when you come to the hard, uncomfortable, unsettling parts, just echo, "My soul, never be offended by the Bible."

Little by little, you'll know more and more. More of the extravagant, unshakeable, relentless, and unstoppable love that Jesus lavishes upon you. And more will start to make sense.

 On the other side of your choice, is a God who responds to your open heart.
