I love nicknames! Do you have any special names that only certain people use? I do and I love it! There's just something about hearing a dear friend or family member call you by a name that you know they chose just for you.
In Revelation 2:17, it says that God will give us a "white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it." I've always imagined that was a special name... the nickname that Our Heavenly Father uses for us when He talks with the Son and the Holy Spirit about us. I don't think that it is a change from "Julie" to "Sarah" or "Elizabeth"... I think it's that special name that only My Father uses.... I imagine it's like Little House on the Prairie where Pa always calls Laura "Half-Pint".
I like that... can't wait to see what my new name will be! How wonderful it will be to hear it from My Father's lips when I see Him face to face. Joy!
