The hallway gave you a nickname. God already gave you a name. Answer to the right one.

Names given in a hallway are cheap and fast, and they stick because repetition sounds like truth. There is also a name given by the One who made you. Only one of those was issued by someone with the whole picture.

Notice which name you are answering to this week, since you can usually tell by how you walk into a room. When the nickname shows up in your head, say what is true about you instead. That is not pretending. It is refusing to let the least informed voice do your filing.
