Processing:
a)Name is the first gift of from our parents. It’s the first sign
of love since they wanted us to be born. It’s our first identity
that we are loved. We don’t earn our name, but someone
gives to us this identity.
b)It might be also a curse. Names become our prison as our
identity is determined by the ‘stigma’ of the names. We are
free to surrender to those stigmas or to live up to your original
identity.
a)God commanded us to name the creations (Gen 2:18). It is
thus our destiny to name the creation and become the co-
creator of God. Naming is very powerful act since it brings
things under our domination. We are free to use this power to
destroy others or to love and give life to others.
