As a young
child I was envious of the meanings of my brothers and sisters names. My name
means “grace” whereas their names have royal descriptions, the king, princess
and peaceful ruler. I thought my name had to do with being clumsy; after all
that’s what our neighbor referred to her daughter whenever she appeared to have
two left feet. Then I discovered God’s grace, unmerited favor; a gift that God
has given us that we don’t deserve and at Christ’s expense. So now when I hear
my name it reminds me of His gift and I am most thankful.
For
by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is
the gift of God. Eph 2:8 NASB
