Chose The Name Jesus

Proverbs 22:1


"A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold."


I refused to let my mother, family, peers, or penitentiary, determine my status in life.  I knew as I was fighting case after case, behind my mother's selfishness, unbeknown, I was going to never stop trying to please God and regaining my name in society as a upstanding citizen.  I always believed if I had it once, I could have it again, name and monetary gain, legally.  After reading my bible and understanding what God required on His earth, love, I could no longer blame my mother or father for their lack of knowledge in how this world is supposed to operate.  But I did know, they tried their best with what finite knowledge they had, by our worlds determination of love.  But losing my father at age 16, and watching my mother make a mockery of the family name, I had to take action, biblical action.  Thanks to God and His sound word, I am now able to reestablish the Young name, and hopefully make God and dad even prouder.  God also has a respectable name, a name that is above all names. He needs and wants us to understand this, and take on this good name in holiness.  Verse 1 says,  A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold."  Receive His favor, chose the name Jesus.


(Luke 9:25-26)  "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? ²⁶ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels."


Blessings to all who take on the name of Jesus and wears it well,
