Stroll down any aisle in your local supermarket, and you’ll find them there. Intense faces and crinkled eyebrows as people read the nutritional labels on feed packaging. Often motionless, they stand scrutinizing calorie counts and grams of fat, the percentage of daily commended allowances, and the elusive serving size per container. Whether we wholly grasp the info or not, we live in a convenient, label-centric society where the info we need appears on a nice, rectangular panel.
Even more crucial than counting carbs and grams of sodium, how do we know how long good nutrition will last? Well, there’s a label or stamp for that too. With “Use by”, “Best Before”, and “Sell by” dates, we may effortlessly keep an eye on the calendar and judge if a perishable item is good for us or not.
How would a scheme of labels work for people? What if, before our birth, God stamped us with a label that disclosed everything He put in us. Others could plainly read what we are made of and who we are invented to be. Easy right? For most of us, no matter how well-intended the Creator is, this labeling routine would not work. Why? One reason — we all learn to make our own labels.
Ever see that car or truck where the owner has gone bumper sticker happy? This is a mirror effigy of how we travel through life, covered with layer upon layer of negative labels affixed by ourselves and others. Labels suffocating our self-image (“loser”, “dummy”, “pig”, “ugly”, “failure”, “nobody”) now smudge and cover the fingerprints of Divinity that are upon us. Our worth, our beauty, our aim as foreseen by our Creator — concealed by the weight of misguided perceptions.
Other negative labels may seem honorable and fair, but do not account for the fact that we are works in progress, maturing at our God-ordained pace. Have you ever seen an not finished house with a sign in front that reads, “no toilets installed”? Or, how when it comes to a realtor’s sign for a home for sale that says, “buyer not approved for loan yet”. Would we not “label” these signs as ridiculous number of things from which only one can be chosen to “Under Construction” and “Under Contract”? Yet, with permanent adhesive, we painstakingly wear the labels of our routine (“mischievous”, “hypocrite”, “liar”, “proud”, “troublemaker”) without the noesis that these labels are expiring, and we are already forgiven. Who you are now, or even then, is/was not the real you. Just scrape off a few layers of labels and the glorious identity of God and how He sees you will start out to shine through.
So, how do we start out the daunting task of removing labels, without scuffing our surface or leaving ourselves covered with half-peeled strips? First, we ought to grasp the rules of the game. Just as Sara Lee cannot label Betty Crocker products, any label that does not originate from our Creator is ILLEGAL. Our truth is never characterized by labels conceived of others. Second, we will have to exercise being tame with ourselves, rejecting self-criticism, and recognise our worth. Spritzing our hearts and minds ofttimes with droplets of Love will loosen the grip of our wrong labels. Finally, for those persistent labels that refuse to be got rid of (or we refuse to let them go), no worries. In this scenario, God stamps us with a Divine expiration date called, “Best AFTER…” There’s a time and season beyond our understanding when each illegal label, no matter how exact or befitting — It will expire!…On it is own, no scraping or picking necessitated on our part. We will learn from our life lessons and grow through our routine — if we stay more than willing to do so.
Starting now, let’s release the need to label ourselves and others. For we are all best sellers, with a non-perishable purpose, specified by the recipe and ingredients hand picked for our lives by God.
