Darryl, huh? Names and how they stick to you are funny that way. It's rare that one gets to choose one's own name. And when they stick to you, for positive or for negative, they often stick for longer than you may care.
There is one area where your name, your identity is your choice. And that is the appellation "Child of God." The Bible says in John 1 that "to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." That choice is yours, friend. All those other names? None of them will stick to you before the throne. And unlike Darryl, modeled after one of earthly fame, this name is from the creator of all.
All who see you, and call you by name? None of them offers you all eternity. But when you pass from this world to the next, the one who calls you by name, He'll call all His children, all children of God, and offer them that eternity.
Will you be one?
