Reflection Qestions
- How might knowing that God has given me His name reshape my understanding of who I am?
- Where am I still trying to define myself by achievements, failures, or labels instead of by adoption into God’s family and selection as Christ’s bride?
- If you are a parent, are you doing more to encourage and bring up your children, or more to provoke and discourage them?
- What is one specific step of obedience, repentance, or reconciliation God is calling you to take in your family before this week is over?
