New Identity-New Name

Ephesians 4:22-24
 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

Transformation: Whenever Biblical humans were transformed, a name change accompanied it. With the new name, came new purpose. One had to shed his or her old ways, and it was not easy, just because of the skin they and we walk in daily.

Notably, the name change was not always major, it would be a difference of a couple to a few letters at times, which signifies that even the most minute details matter, in life, in communication, in purpose, in action.

Just know when you change, improve, transform, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, you no longer are bound by the thoughts of your former self, whether self imposed or otherwise. You are who and what you say you are according to the word. 

You are strong, fierce, great, and more. Just believe. The personalities that encompass you, reminding you of who you used to be, must be pruned, so the new you can flourish. The things and ways that assisted in propagating the former identity shall be discarded because they have no place in your new space. 

You are now a sanctuary. Respect it-you. Honor it-you.
