“What is your name?” Names as we know, can limit us, hurt us, or even destroy us. But they can also heal and make us alive again in a new way. God invites us again and again through the cleansing waters of baptism to come – to come and be washed clean of all the names that diminish us and instead be reminded of the true name and new identity God gifts us. So, answer God’s question. Don’t keep quiet. Don’t back down. Don’t walk away. Hold on for the blessing. Speak the names that you carry. Confess them. Shout them. Whisper them. Then listen and prevail. Listen for God to say, “No. You shall no longer be called that. That’s not who you are. You are My Beloved. You are My Child. Forgiven. Set Free. Redeemed. Beautiful. Enough.” God speaks this holy and precious name to you and says, “This is who you are! Now go and become what you have heard.”
