Our Bible study leader was talking about getting rid of negative labels from our past. I thought about the labels that people have given me: in high school it was Beanpole or Bones. (I have since 'outgrown' those!)
"Rip those hurtful labels off!" our leader said.
Father God has some labels for us to wear: Beloved, Mighty Man of Valor, Bride of Christ, Ransomed, Precious, My Delight.
I like those labels.

Jeremiah 31:3 The Lord said, "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with my lovingkindness."

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS! BIG HUG!
First, I too dislike scratchy labels. It seems the garment can be soft but then it is destroyed with a scratchy label. I am thankful that God has only good and positive labels for me,.
"... getting rid of negative labels from our past."
So Important.
❤️❤️❤️
I cut out labels too and I love this comparison! I had some crazy nick-names in High School and most weren't worthy of repeating:) Enjoy your day dear Karen, HUGS!
Excellent example of labels. I am happy so many are printing on the inside of the garment instead of using a scratchy label. :-)
This is wonderful advice. I'm going to think about all the old labels that need to be discarded in my life. Take care!
Encouraging words!
