don't you know that's not your name

I heard this song on my drive to work this morning, and in the midst of a season in my life filled with so much uncertainty, I felt free. I hope you can read through them [or listen here] and know that no matter what is going on in your life, no matter what your story is or was, no matter what others say you are [or what you call yourself on your worst days] that is not who you are in Christ. 
Greater
by MercyMe

Bring your tired
Bring your shame
Bring your guilt
Bring your pain
Don't you know that's not your name
You will always be much more to me

Everyday I wrestle with the voices
That keep telling me I'm not right
But that's alright

Cause I hear a voice and He calls me redeemed
When others say I'll never be enough
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the world
In the world
In the world
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the world

Bring your doubts
Bring your fears
Bring your hurt
Bring your tears
There'll be no condemnation here
You are holy, righteous and redeemed

Every time I fall
There'll be those who will call me a mistake
Well that's ok

Cause I hear a voice and He calls me redeemed
When others say I'll never be enough
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the world
In the world
In the world
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the world

Whoa ohhh ohhh
Whoa ohhh ohhh
He's Greater
He's Greater
Whoa ohhh ohhh
Whoa ohhh ohhh
He's Greater
He's Greater

There'll be days I lose the battle
Grace says that it doesn't matter
Cause the cross already won the war
He's Greater
He's Greater

I am learning to run freely
Understanding just how He sees me
And it makes me love Him more and more
He's Greater
He's Greater

There'll be days I lose the battle
Grace says that it doesn't matter
Cause the cross already won the war
He's Greater
He's Greater

I am learning to run freely
Understanding just how He sees me
And it makes me love Him more and more
He's Greater
He's Greater

Cause I hear a voice and He calls me redeemed
When others say I'll never be enough
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the world
In the world
In the world
And greater is the One living inside of me
Than he who is living in the world

There'll be days I lose the battle
Grace says that it doesn't matter
Cause the cross already won the war
He's Greater
He's Greater

I am learning to run freely
Understanding just how He sees me
And it makes me love Him more and more
He's Greater
He's Greater

[There's so much truth in all these words, but I italicized my favorite parts]

    Your heart is so beautiful. I miss Saturday mornings. I'm going to start counting down the days.
