Because things accumulate around your name, said Berenice. You have a name and one thing after another happens to you, and you behave in various ways and do things, so that soon the name begins to have meaning.

And if it is good and you have a good reputation, then you should be content and satisfied.
~ Carson McCullers
It is often the case that the true humility of Christ is not understood. It was not in having a low opinion of his own character and claims, but it was in taking a low place in order to raise others to a higher.

About what they feel comfortable doing, about what they feel is beyond the scope of their character? The more mistake you have made, the more you have learned.

When it comes to prosperity, we need God's revelation of His purpose for it in our lives. Prosperity is not a formula where we observe certain rules and obtain wealth; nor is it a reward system whereby we get rewarded for being obedient children. Prosperity is one aspect of the nature and character of God; as His royal children, it is ours as we walk in agreement and unity with our Father. When, in faith, we receive God's grace of giving, we become Christlike givers who prosper.
