---JESUS KNOWS YOUR NAME ~~

----God added, "Regarding Sarai your wife--her name is no longer 'Sarai' but 'Sarah'
('Princess'). And I will bless her and give you a son from her! Yes, I will bless her richly,
and make her the mother of nations! Many kings shall be among your posterity."
--[Genesis 17:15-16] --

---A PEDIATRITION and I coauthored a book about a baby's first year. In my research, I found a little paperback titled What's In a Name?
It was full of baby names and their meanings. The preface urged future parents to be prayerful about selecting a name instead of just picking something cute from a "Names Trending Now" list.

We see in the passage above, the Lord shows us with Sarah that He attaches great significance to names. After He spoke to her husband, Abram ("exalted father"), he changed his name to Abraham ('Father of nations"). He changed Sarai's name ("my princess") to Sarah (princess of many").

The Lord changed their identities and helped them own it by giving them new names. He enlarged their vision of themselves.

We also should give consideration to naming our child, or advising others, so that the name does not represent something evil. There are many names that are an insult to people after they grow older. Of course they can change it later.
We are no stranger to Jesus. He knew us before He formed us in our mother's womb.
