Labels can be found on almost everything. Things like , nutritional labels, clothing labels, mailing labels, drink products of all kinds, "use" by labels, tobacco product warning labels, G, PG, MA labels on movies. Almost everything you can think of has labels. Most of them are put on by the manufacturer or someone other than us. But, we label things too! People, for example.

It is easy for us to label people. Happy, smart, successful, easy going, …..unhappy, stupid, failure, angry. Some people we label in a nice way while others we may label in an extremely negative way; especially if they disagree with us, if they don’t act like us, if they don’t look like us, don’t believe like us or live different lifestyles than us. But what about when someone labels us? Or even more importantly, how do we label ourselves? God wants us to get beyond labels that we give to others and to ourselves. He has some labels for us. He made us, so His labels count.
