I had been off work for a couple of days and today was my first day back. I was having difficulty logging on to my desktop and I checked and apparently my surname was spelt wrong so the security system was not recognising my password.

That really struck me-I’m going somewhere, I promise- someone had misspelled/labelled me incorrectly and I didn’t properly examine the log on name, I just accepted it as the status quo and was trying to use that name/ label to log on.

It got me thinking- what names/ labels have people given me that I have casually accepted or taken for granted. The message from Joyce Meyer also confirmed the thoughts that were going through my mind. People would label you as they see fit, my question is, do you always take what people tell you as a given or do you refute it and based your worth on what your Heavenly Father has said concerning you.

People may say, ‘You’ll never amount to anything’ but God whispers, ‘I know the plans I have concerning you, plans to prosper you and show you my salvation’ and you can be confident that ‘He who began this good work in me will perform it until the day Christ returns’....

And when I feel down cause someone hurts or betrays me, He enfolds me in His arms and says ‘I love you, and always remember that people may let you down but I never fail’

And when I worry about my future-about discovering my purpose, about my career paths, about getting married, being a good wife and having kids, He smiles and says, ‘Your future is in My hands-Stand still and know that I am God’!!
