After 15 years of widowhood, my mother went back to her maiden name. There were no regrets for living 35 years with her husband’s name, but she claims that as soon as the legal change was made she realized, “This has always been my true identity!”
Jesus calls each of us by our true name. It may feel different; like a new identity, but I propose that it is actually who we’ve been all along; from beginningless time. In fact, all that we are looking for is right here, inviting us to “come and see.”
