God calls us by name because we belong to Him.

Recently, I was asked this question, "If you change your
name, will it make a difference in your destiny."  I thought
what an interesting question, especially since I had changed
my name 42 years ago.  I methodically set out to provide
this young lady who asked me the question an
answer.  I reached this conclusion by searching the
Scriptures and provided her with this answer – no matter what your
name is, was, or will be, God's plan for you to spend eternity with
Him will not be thwarted. There is nothing we can do to separate us
from His love, once we belong to Him. So, it's very simple, if a
person changes his/her first, middle or last names, or goes by
a nickname, or goes by an alias in witness protection, God
still knows the "person" He created and named!  He formed us,
predestined us, and adopted us as His sons and daughters
though Jesus Christ. Isaiah 43:1b says, "I have
called you by name; you are Mine."   Join us on Tuesday,
May 9, at 3:30pm PDT, as we talk about the significance of a
given or assumed name, vs. God's intimate knowledge of you as His
child.   Hope 4 Today is an outreach program of Yield to the
