One of my new favorite songs is Hello, My Name Is by Matthew West. This song speaks of experiencing freedom. Freedom from the lies that we believe about ourselves. The lies that come from our damaged self-perception and from the mouths of those who attempt to tear us down.
These are the voices, these are the lies
And I have believed them, for the very last time
The hope in this song is found in Jesus, the one true king. The one who makes all things new. It is because of Him that we are free. There is no other god, no other prophet, no other way to be saved.
It's not about being spiritual. It's not about doing the right things. It's about accepting the gift of grace that has been offered through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.
Acts 4:12
Because of this gift, there is no longer need for regret. No room for defeat. We are not defined by our weaknesses or mistakes.
These have been replaced by newness. Transformation. Worthiness. Salvation. Love.
What do you call yourself?

I really liked this post. I couldn't have read it at a better time (:
Amen Amen!!
Sometimes I forget that I am a new creation in JESUS CHRIST and the flesh tries to revert back to the old ways. But who I was is not who I am =)
