How we define ourselves carries far more weight than we recognize. Names are important to God and are powerful indicators of who we will become. How we identify ourselves will have major consequences on how our future will turn out.

In Mark 5, Jesus confronts a man living in a graveyard who has lost his name. He is now identified by the demons who possess him and the chains that bind him. But chains cannot solve this man's problems, because you cannot solve spiritual problems with human solutions.

This man was defined by his problems. God does not define us by our sins or struggle. God sees the human He created: A human God wants to be defined by the purpose and love God always intended for him. This man lost his identity and was defined by his issues until he met Jesus. Are you defined by your issues? It's time to take your name back.
