What should your middle name have been?

Samantha the wanderer

The screw up

Jack "I can't think of anything clever" Smith.

"Despite-himself-and-because-of-the-Lord's-mercy-is-going-to-make-it"
Kind of a long middle name. But appropriate.

I can't say without breaking the forum rules.

My middle name should have been Anxiety.

Say it out loud. Has a nice ring to it, right? A classic name. Like a cross between Charity or Chastity and Antoinette.

Regal, even. But I’m not quite the Queen of Anxiety I used to be. God is teaching this very slow learner how to trust. May the learning continue.

" the contrarian"...
I go against almost every human convention (as many here will attest).

God doesn’t even think about your old screw ups. They’re forgiven. You don’t need to dwell on them or keep revisiting them. They’re gone! You’re clean and pristine, spotless.

Any new screw ups, you just ask forgiveness.

You are so loved!

Yes, I understand from experience about things being hard to forget. Haunting us, even.

What I shared with you is something I’d never really taken to heart until just recently. Hope it helps a little.

God doesn't think you're a screw up, He knows you as His beloved.

Paul of The Bible seemed to remember some of his?
Called himself the chief sinner.

I always thought that was me?

Don’t we all feel that way sometimes?

I guess the Apostle Paul would disagree with you.

I take comfort in seeing the people God is willing forgive and make new, such as Paul, formerly named Saul.
