Sometimes, it’s just a name given to you. Mostly, it’s what you make of it.
A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches;
And favor is better than silver and gold.
Proverbs 22:1 AMP
That’s why it’s so important to strive to keep your name with integrity and avoid activities that could tarnish it at all costs. Because once it’s tainted with controversies (that are rather true), then your ruin begins at the defilement of your name.
And you know what? This is a profound and realistic portrait of the human condition.
But if you are already at the point of no return, and your name is now something you are ashamed of, I know someone who can take away all the guilt and the disgrace you are feeling right now. His Name is Jesus.
