I have been thinking about the name that God calls us. We all have names that we were given by our parents at birth or we have names that we answer to that were given to us by other people. But there is a name that God calls us by because it has to do with our purpose.
God has called each one of us to do exploit for him. When we think of exploits, we think of something big and great. But I would like to think that exploits have to do with making the name of God known and great. If we think of people in the Bible whom God used to do exploits, there is a particular name which we associate with them. I believe that is the name God has called them. If we say Jesus, we think Saviour. If we say Moses, we think Deliverer. If we say Jeremiah, we think Prophet.
I believe that we all have a name that God has called us even before we were born. That is the name that fits us even more than the name we go by or are known by among our family and friends. We all need to find the purpose for which we are created. The purpose will determine the name that God knows us by. It's not enough to glide through life. To live a full life, we need to know why we are here and live the life passionately.
