Mean what "You" say

Your name says a lot about YOU.

Do you know the meaning of your name?

This thought came into my mind as I was reading in my Bible in The Gospel of Matthew, "...when an angel of the Lord appears to Joseph and says you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." (Matthew 1:20-21).

Jesus translated from Hebrew literally means "God rescues."

"... for He will save His people from their sins."

Christ translated means "the anointed one."

So Jesus' name literally means "The Anointed One who will save His people from their Sins."

Wow. Thank you Jesus for living up to (and dying to) YOUR GREAT NAME!

So it brings me back to my question, Do you know the meaning of your name?

My name Michael Paul means "Who is like God?" and "Humble"
Boy, do I have some owning up to! Thanks Mom and Dad! ;)

Here are some names and their meanings of my friends and family:

Diane means "divine"
Sarah means "princess"
Anna means "favor" or "grace"
Joseph means "He will enlarge"
Nathan means "to give"
Elizabeth means "God's promise"
Emily means "rival" or "emulating"
Matthew means "Gift of God"
Charlie means "free man"
Stephanie means "crown"
Jason means "healer"

Cool right? Find out the meaning of your name!

Names and their meanings can really inspire people to live to their name's significance.

I know it challenges me!

So the next time someone asks you, "What's your name?"

Mean what "YOU" say

Thanks for reading!

Blessings,
Michael Paul
