Who Am I?

This is a question I’ve been asking a lot lately. I am in a search to discover an identity that cannot be shaken. I want to know what it means to be so captivated by God that it satisfies all other desires. Misty Edwards wrote a song called “Arms Wide Open” that I’ve had on repeat as I’ve been asking God what this love looks like. Part of the song reads: I once...
