Labels

You're not store bought, so there's no label to come with you, but if they must, tell them your Maker has all the ingredients He used to make you. They will have to ask Him, and He will tell them more about you, but they first have to start with asking Him about themselves.
​
The enemy's strategy is to reduce a human to a mere label that has one meaning, with no diversity, no sophistication, no depth, no multi-dimensionality.

I perceive he is projecting. 

Even in that "title" or label, you will not always be treated to what you 'deserve', because that label means something different to each person, and some may not even know it or call you by it.

In this case, turn to Your Maker to determine what He says.

Measure your worth based on Christ as the Mirror; no longer by worldly standards.

If you know who you are and whose you are, and yet you are still rejected or if you are looked down upon, it is no longer majority of your "fault", but rather a chance to remember who are and whose you are.

In that realm of identity, also remember that He who promised you the things He told you about  is sure to deliver. So, even if you are wanting a "label" or "title", you're sure to get something because your Redeemer promises to give you something worth while any way. And these would be from the One with the best of intentions. 

Rest in this response to your season of waiting, that "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" Phil 1:6 

And that "...Your Father in heaven gives good things [gifts] to those who ask Him" Matt 7:11

So we wait because we trust, and as He leads, we act on faith because we trust. We're led, and we trust. It continues, and the moments when we 'fail' to trust, we are still comforted, and once again, we are up again and still in the race. It just has to start with who He is, then who you are. As for the variety of accolades & recognitions, they can wait their turn, as we don't live to fit their box, but more so living so we and they know the God who truly runs the show <3
