What does your name mean? Have you ever wondered why you were given the name you have? Maybe you were told that you were named after someone. Maybe your parents aren't sure why they named you what they did. I encourage you to seek what you name means. I don't just mean go to a 'baby name site' and see what it says. I mean really seek out what it means. It can change everything!
I've always seen my name Michelle mean "who is like God?" Isn't that weird! A meaning with a question mark? What in the world does that mean???? Recently a dear friend of mine went to a women's conference and started reading an amazing book. I'm not exactly sure which made her look into the meaning of her name but boy am I glad she did...it brought me back to seeking what my name meant. What was God thinking when He had my parents name me Michelle?
Well I went deeper than just a 'baby name site' and found the meaning Michelle - "close to God" Can I tell you that meaning changed everything for me! I've now begun seeking what THAT means. I've found a couple of amazing Bible verses that I plan to mediate on for a while. I'm excited to see what God will reveal to me!
~Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. James 4:8 NLT
~let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:22 NLT
So GO! SEARCH! SEEK! LEARN!
