Feeling Like a Lesser Version of Yourself? Watch This | Revelation 2:17 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | Monday 1 June 2026

Shame has a habit of giving us names we never chose - and quietly, we start to believe them. But what if the name failure wrote over you isn't the final word?

In this devotional, we sit with a small but powerful detail from John 21: the moment Jesus meets Peter on the shore after the resurrection - and calls him Simon. Not Peter the Rock. Simon. The old name. The before-name. And from there, we follow a thread all the way to one of the most quietly extraordinary verses in the whole Bible: Revelation 2:17 and the white stone with a name no one else knows.

What you'll take away from this video:

- Why shame shrinks us - and why that's not the end of the story
- What it means that Jesus called Peter "Simon" in John 21
- The ancient meaning of the white stone in Revelation 2:17
- How George MacDonald understood what God's new name really is
- One small, honest step you can take today
