[no name]

Share it Please
So i went to breakfast this past week on a Tuesday, and i met a lady. I sat down with this lady after the serving of the meal was over, and most people had wandered back onto the streets. When i sat down with her, i could immediately tell she was standoffish, but i prayerfully continued to sit anyways. I asked her what her name was and she replied "no name." I just kind of sat there and nodded and she said "yeah, no name, that's what they call me.'' And i replied, "I'm Shaila, it's very nice to meet you."

After a few more exchanging of words, i left this conversation with an acheing heart. Why was she called no name? Who are they that call her this? Why do they call her this?

I hope [no name] feels loved. This is the letter i would like to give [no name] if i got the chance.

Dear [no name],

The Lord has not forgotten about you. He loves you more than you will ever be able to comprehend. His love is unconditional and there is nowhere you can run where it will not reach. He knows the number of hairs on your head and He will call you by name. His grace is enough for you. He's waiting this very moment for you.

Please pray for [no name] tonight. We can call her [Loved]. Please pray for [Loved] tonight.
