What's in a name? Lots!

By Diane Wexler Hayden

NAMES are one way we have of identifying people and things. Sometimes names help us know something special about the person or thing being named. For example, what color do you think a bluebird is? Or where do you think the Connecticut River goes? Or what size is Big Bird?

God has lots of names, too. His names tell about Him and explain the different ways He cares for us.

Love is a name for God that means He is kind. Mind means that God is intelligent. The name Truth tells us that what God knows is what's real about us. Almighty is another name for God, which means He has all-power. Nothing is stronger than God.
