I was listening to a Christian scholar speaking of the names that are made for us in this lifetime. We all gather names as we pass through this life. It starts with the names our parents may call us when we're little. Honey pie, sweetie, cutie. When we get to school, sometimes these names are nicknames given to us by other kids. Smart, cute, geek, loser, weird, buck teeth. Whichever yours might have been in school. As we grow older we start naming ourselves. Sometimes the names we call ourselves are positive. Smart, sexy, cute, kind, stupid, loser, failure. These names we give ourselves are a reflection of how we see ourselves. Normally the worst critic of yourself is you. These names accumulated tend to be negative in nature, whether we came up with them, or someone else gave these names to us. As part of becoming a Christian, you are baptized and we shed the skin of our old selves and become something new. In Revelations 2:17 - [quote]He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’[/quote] There are many theories surrounding what exactly this verse means. As it comes to what it means to be a Christian, in the spirit of the evolution of ourselves and how it applies to us, the white stone could symbolize God's name for us as a reward for conquering sin and being true to God and ourselves. Our true identity as in, who we were born to be, not what the world has named us. WhiteStone is supposed to be a reminder to me to be the best person I can be no matter what the world has called me. Sometimes I still struggle with being the best person I can be. But it wouldn't be a testament to God if it was easy. So I try to bring a positive spirit with me whenever I pick up a controller and talk to others. I try to inspire them to be the best they can be and I try to represent my God and make him proud as I would try to make my own father proud of me.
