Silent Naming

In the Silence, Name Me

By Ted Loder: Guerrillas of Grace page 30

Holy One,

untamed 

by the names

I give you,

in the silence

name me,

that I may know

who I am,

hear the truth

You have put into me,

trust the love

You have for me,

which You call me to live out

with my sisters and brothers

in your human family.

You are untamed by the names I give You.
You are so much more than
I could ever think or imagine,
And yet You stoop low
to offer and pursue and name me.

In the silence of this desert morning
with Your sprinkling of birdsong
and leaf whirring
and gentle breezes,
You invite me in
as You name me.

You name me so I might:
Know who I am: and know Who I am is…

“But now thus says the Lord, I AM:
He who created you, O Jacob,
He who formed you, O Israel:
‘Fear not,
For I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name,
You are mine.'”
Isaiah 43:1

Hear the truth You have put into me
that is awakened when I see You move,

Trust the love You have for me:
To Fear Not!
And
To act
As You call me:
To live out my salvation
over the power of sin in my daily life:
With my sisters and brothers
in Your family.

May I grow into my name today, Lord,
according to Your good purposes.
Philippians 2:12-13
