there are a thousand labels I can finish that sentence with. And there are for you as well.
We don't live long in this world before we attach and have attached to us labels of all shapes and sizes.
Smart, tender-hearted, talented, forgetful, witty, strong, fearful, determined, competitive, victim, kind, generous, wise, failure, hypocrite... you get the idea. Our labels can shape how others see us, they can shape how we see ourselves. (read more...)

I wonder, what would happen if we caught a glimpse of the labels God attaches to us? What if we could hear Him call us by the characteristics He sees in us? What then?
As you get ready to lead Cypress in worship this weekend, whether on the platform, in the sound booth or as an attender in the congregation, take some time to take to (and talk to God about) your labels. The ones that you've lived with for years. Ask Him to show you which labels He sees on you. And think about what life could be like if we lived up to His labels for us.
