My Name

I've listened to Todd Agnew's song New Name on the Reflections of Something album for quite a while.  I like the song but I wouldn't have bought the album because of this song.  I've got this CD in my car again and been listening to it off and on.  Today, though, I was listening to The Message on satellite radio and heard another song that I've heard several times recently. It's by Matthew West and is called Hello, My Name Is . Today, I got it..... Today, after hearing both songs repeatedly, I get it. Just like God gave Abram and Jacob new names. He gave me a new name when I claimed Him as God and Savior. I have a new name. That name is Child. At first glance....and second glance.....and likely several glances after that, it is not a particularly an attractive name.  It means that all Jesus-followers have the same name.   AHHH, maybe that is (part of) the point! After all, we lose ourselves in that name. We become, we all become, children of the One
