Your Identity

So let’s say I asked about the first thing you were gifted when you were born or as a child. You would probably refer to a particular toy, for some who were born with a silver spoon, you would maybe tell me about a really expensive necklace that you still own or you know, just something fancy.

Well... when a child is born, the first thing he/she is gifted is a name, an Identity. Regardless of when, why or how often it happens, the giving and receiving of a name is an event of major importance which cuts across culture and religion.

Irrespective of the fancy shoes or bags or whatever we were gifted at birth, a name is the most priceless gift because your name is the greatest connection to your own identity, individuality and is a crucial factor in developing your sense of self.  

I know I should chip in the story of Jabez who by prayers broke through the wrong identity given to Him at birth but that’s a story for another day. 

 Always remember  “ your name illuminates your Identity, do well to own it “.

Cheers 🥂
