The Person Behind the Label

Have you ever had a label attached to you?  Sometimes they point out a character trait, a body shape, or some less-than-esteeming slur that cuts to the bone.

Perhaps you've heard something like this:

  “You’re fat!”

       “You’re ugly!”

            “You don’t belong!”

                “Hey homo!”

                      “Who dropped you on your head, dumbo?”

Well, that’s enough.

I’ve had a few labels attached to me down through the years.  Check out these:

“You’re an accident waiting to happen.”

“Get away from that thing, boy.  You don’t know ‘nothin about machinery.”

Labels hurt.  Harsh words cut to the bone.  And the unfortunate thing is we continue to internalize them long after they were last uttered.  We have an amazing date storage system between our ears that captures every moment of our lives.

Help is available for you.  Your labels can be removed, redeemed and erased.  Your life, regardless of the twists and turns it has taken, can be straightened and redeemed.  There is a person behind every label mankind can level against us, and YOU are that person. 

Come meet the one who can erase your labels, redeem your image, and restore you to a life of wholeness.  His name is Jesus, The Christ, the Son of God, and He is very fond of you already. 

He stands ready for your call. 

Will you reach for him?  He’s already reaching for you.

A Prayer for You

God Our Redeemer:

We need your help.  We need your redemption and grace to eradicate all of the wrongs in which we have become entangled. 

These labels hurt.  They still sting, and some of them were said years ago.  Help us God.  Please remove the stigma of our past lives and give us a fresh beginning. 

Amen
