As I sit meditating on My wondrous creation,
I see you in the midst.
I close My eyes and hear each of your names
as a melodious sweet savor surrounding My presence.
I have given each of you, My children, a new name,
names that you are called by day by day,
the new names have I written in My heart.
These names are birthed out of the love
that I have for you individually
and this love burns deep within My heart.
You may not know these new names but you do know Me.
You are My sheep and when I call your names,
your spirits answer and hear the voice of Your Shepherd.
You know Me and hear Me.
Let Me quietly and gently call your names one by one.
Some of you are called Faithful;
some are called Joyful;
others Overcomers;
others still, Conquerors.
Many of you are called Friend;
Lo, I look and yet I see some of you
who are called Righteous.
Many, many names do I call you
and I call you all.
I call you many times during the course of a day,
into the night, at sunrise and sunset;
at the dawn of a new day
when My Mercies are new and fresh.
and, at other times with a heart-felt cry
through blinding tears.
Yet at other times I call your names
with joyous laughter.
I call your names throughout the night
as you are sleeping,
and I call your names softly
but with Resurrection Power at the appointed time
to awaken you in the mornings.
When you are discouraged, I call your name Encouraged.
When you are broken, I call your name Fixed.
When you are wounded, I call your name Mended.
When you are afraid, I call your name Trust.
When you are unloved, I call your name Loved.
When you feel lost, I call your name Found.
When you feel at a distance, I call your name Close.
When you feel empty, I call your name Filled.
When you feel like sickness, I call your name Healed.
When you feel depressed I call your name Delivered.
When you feel alone I call your name Near.
When you feel unsaved I call your name Righteous.
When you feel uncomely I call your name Beautiful.
When you feel worthless I call your name Priceless.
When you feel unworthy I call your name Worthy.
When you feel overcome I call your name Overcomer.
When you feel conquered I call your name Conqueror.
When you feel bound I call your name Free.
When you feel defeated I call your name Victorious.
When you feel in darkness I call your name Light.
When you feel that you do not belong
I call your name MINE!
No matter who you are, where you are;
where you have been, or where you are going;
what you have done, or what you are doing,
I STILL CALL YOU BY NAME.
WHY?
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU WITH MY LIFE!
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT.

How very true... I am none of those things, and yet God chooses to see the perfectness of Christ in me. How blessed I am. Thank you so much for encouraging me today. :D
