The name of Jesus is certainly used in a variety of ways in our day and time. I cringe whenever I hear someone use His name in vain – as a word of expressing disgust or used as a cuss word. But something I have to consider is that the Lord will use even these misuses of the name in some good and holy way. Why do I say that? Because I believe there is power and hope and healing and love in that name – regardless of how it is used! How’s that for a Kingdom point of view?! Today, let’s determine to use that name as it was intended – and let us use its misuse as a point of prayer and hope for the person who used it in that way. In this way, love wins the day!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD; We have blessed you from the house of the LORD. Psalm 118:26 NASB
