Someone once said, "Don't pray, "God use me!" but rather pray, "God make me useable."" If we make ourselves usable to God, He will delight is using us for His purposes. There is no shortage of things God is doing in and around our lives.
Onesimus' means useful. He was a run-a-way slave who definitely was not very useful to God or his master. When he became a christian everything changed. The meaning of his name became an identifier rather than a constant reminder of his rebellion.
Troy means, "place of the curly haired people." Not much there. But God has given me a new name…"christian". That is something to live up to. We should all be living to be "like Christ."
