Name Above All Other Names


What’s the big deal with a name? A woman helping me at the grocery store yesterday, finished up by saying, “Is there anything else I can get you, Nicole?” I don’t know what it is, but when people use my name, it makes me feel special. Important almost. It’s amazing how the little things we do can add kindness to someone else’s day.

“He humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:8-11
