Feeling Unknown

Yesterday I got a little down about having a generic name. And today I got a little down about potentially having a generic face because I was greeted by the wrong name.
It ain't pleasant to feel nameless. Faceless. Unknown. Insignificant.

But I find heavenly comfort in that I am a child of God and my identity is in Christ.

God knows exactly who I am. He will never forget me. 

"For you died, and your life in hidden with Christ in God." Colossians 3:3
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." John 1:12

God says I am significant: 
I have been chosen by God. “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.” John 15:16

I am God's workmanship.

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10

I am a joint heir with Christ.
"And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." Galatians 4:6-7

God knows my name! :)

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name;
 You are Mine.” Isaiah 43:1b

Jesus said: "I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep." John 10:14-15

Thank you, Jesus! And BIG thanks to my family for all your encouragement today xxoo
