The meaning of my name

Benita

It is of Spanish and Latin origin, and the meaning of Benita is 'blessed.' Feminine variant of Benedict; variant of Benedicta. The meaning of Benedicta is 'blessed.' 


May God bless you to be a blessing even as you, like Abraham and Sara, are living a life in transition from one place to another. Your true home and identity is with Jesus Christ, who pours his blessings into your life, so that you will be HIS blessing to those around you. By having Christ integrated in your family line of descendants, you will be a blessing not only for people today, but also the families coming from you who are not even born yet.

Genesis 12:1-3 + Hebrew 11:8-19

I got a slip of paper with my name and its meaning on it during Girls' Night, and this was what it said. I was a little surprised at how accurate it was, because up til this point, no one had ever told me what my name meant or where it came from, apart from my parents.
