Tim Godfrey, a gospel musician, has penned an open letter to people who have been misunderstood, labeled, and judged.
Tim Godfrey highlighted in an Instagram post that Jesus never labeled anyone, instead preferring to love and accept them for who they are. He also revealed his experiences of being labeled and judged
Godfrey wrote: “OPEN LETTER TO THE LABELED. To the one they called too much. To the one religion judged before hearing your story. To the one who stopped going to gatherings because the whispers were louder than the sermons. This is for you. I know what it feels like to be labeled. To be misunderstood because of how you look, how you express, or how you create.
“I’ve heard the words too “worldly,” “rebellious,” “fake,” “unspiritual.” I’ve seen the stares, the distance, the disapproval. But here’s what I’ve learned. Jesus never labeled people. He loved them. He sat with the broken, touched the untouchable, and called the forgotten family.
“You may carry tattoos on your skin. You may have gold in your hair or dreads that make them stare. You may have been told you don’t fit the “Religious image.” But guess what??? Neither did Jesus. He was rejected, misunderstood, and called names — Yet He loved louder. He healed harder. He forgave deeper.
“So, to everyone who’s ever been boxed, branded, or broken or Labeled You are seen. You are loved. You are chosen. And no matter what label they’ve put on you, Grace still has your name on it.
“(Romans 8:38-39 – “Nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”). This is your reminder: You don’t have to clean up to come to Him. You come to Him, and He does the cleansing through love. (Titus 3:5 – Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.)
“On October 31st, 2025, We’re releasing more than an album —We’re releasing a sound, a cry, a movement. NO LABEL isn’t just MUSIC It’s a message. A reminder that grace has no dress code. That the finished work of the Cross still covers every story, every scar, every soul.
“Because Jesus didn’t come for the perfect. He came for the real. And if you’ve ever been pushed away, Know this: He’s still reaching for you. Welcome to NO LABEL”.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy One ❤️❤️❤️ Rose Ajieh
“A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets.”
