What new label do you want to wear? Isn’t it funny that we buy shirts and sweatshirts with a brand name on them, and we advertise for the company we just bought the item from. Hilarious! We can wear a label like Calvin Klein, or Aeropostle, or Nike, and wear them proudly! But some labels we wear are not on clothing. They are almost stamped across our forehead….like victim, or loner, or helpless, or rejected. If there has been abuse in your past, the labels can be even worse. God has a much different label for you. The unfortunate things about negative labels is that often they echo over and over in your mind, and unless we consciously make an effort to turn off the echo, we believe what we hear. So if you have heard the words quitter, ugly, stupid, selfish, angry, tired, bossy or any other negative word echo in your heart, begin right now to erase those words that label your life. The new you in Christ is a new creation. Old things are gone and past away, you are now new! That means that now …..you is kind, you is smart, you is important! I love those words from the movie The Help! You are beautiful, you are intelligent, you are selfless, you are happy, you are alert, you are friendly, you are helpful……etc. Life might make you want to believe the worst about yourself, but God says you are the BEST!
