What a Beautiful Name

Have you ever said to someone, "You have such a beautiful name"? I have. Especially if I know a little bit about a person and if it seems like their personality goes well with their name....like Faith or Grace or Bella(which actually means beautiful in Italian) or for boys, Christian or David or Samuel. There's one Name that has many titles, the Name of Jesus. Now, that's a beautiful Name, not only because of it's meaning ("God rescues" in Hebrew), but because of who He is and what we think of when we hear that Name! Or when we hear His other Names...(left click to enlarge)

During the Christmas season, I’m reminded of the many names that are given to Jesus at His birth….
Isaiah 7:14 declares:
"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign. The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel' This prophecy refers to the birth of Jesus in Matthew 1:22-23. This took place to fulfill what the Lord said through the prophet; 'The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel which means, 'God with us.'
Isaiah prophesied of the Messiah saying this:
"His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace'
{Isaiah 9:6}

 Here is a song that I really like that describes the Name of Jesus! Hope you can sit back and enjoy!

    Hi Ann - great post. I think one day I want to go through all the names for God and take in as much as I can. Grateful though that when in need, we just need to call out His name - Jesus - and He will be there. Thank you for linking up with me on Winsome Wednesday. I appreciate it very much. Looking forward to seeing you there this week too.
    God bless

Advent(Dec. 9): Surprise Gifts

Image
  Now Israel  loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,  because he had been born to him in his old age;  and he made an ornate   robe  for him.   When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him  and could not speak a kind word to him. When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge  against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”   So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions  before he died:   ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins  and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’  Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father. ” When their message came to him, Joseph wept. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?   You intended to harm me,  but God intended ...

Burn The Ships

Image
The beginning of a New Year often has us looking back and seeing how God has walked with us in the past and contemplating the year ahead .  We tend to want to hold on to the familiar, the easier path, the old ways....but these often become unhealthy, and even dangerous for us to continue down some paths/have relationships with some people in our lives. When we become aware of these different paths/people in our lives that can hinder/harm us, we may need to "rise from the dust and walk away".  "Burning the Ships" can be SO difficult(maybe even excruciating.)  I don't know about you, but FEAR often has kept me from burning the ships and moving ahead. Fear of rejection, fear of what others will think, fear of being alone, fear of not knowing the future. But, God reminds us that He will never leave us, nor forsake us. He is our source of strength. And He holds the future and will take care of us!! “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageou...

Ugly-Beautiful Graces = Real Life

“Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.” ~ Chuck Swindoll Today, I was thinking about a small, but loaded two-word phrase – “REAL LIFE”. What does real life mean to me? Well, I discovered that looking each word up in the dictionary made it difficult to describe, since both had more than 15-28 different definitions.(Wow!)  So, I just kind of meditated for a few minutes on the phrase and considered what real life means to me.  A few words that came to mind   Imperfect Transparent Difficult Harsh   “A daily joy struggle . . . a battle between grudgery & gratitude.” (words from Ann Voskamp) . . .it’s not really what we make of it. . .but what we make of God (our relationship with Him)   An endless cycle of mistakes and graces Living forgiven Ugly-beautiful I st...
