Called by Name

What does it mean to you when you are called by name? When I was in 5th grade, we moved to Tennessee and began attending a fairly big SBC church with a booming children's ministry. One of the annual events the kids' ministry ran was called "24 Hours 4 Him" which was essentially a very intentional and organized church lock-in for 1st-5th (6th?) grade. The theme for my first time participating was all about the names of God . And that was the first time I had heard more names for Him outside of the ones I already knew (Immanuel, Abba, Wonderful counselor, etc). At the end of the event, we were given a little keychain with cards attached to it, each representing and defining a different Name of God. I still have that keychain. And ever since that event, the names of God have been one of my favorite ways to praise and glorify Him and one of my favorite things to share with others. So, today, I want to share a few with you. ____________ Elohim | God El Shaddai | Lord...
