Be Who You Are

FIRST15
About this episode

In today’s devotional, we’re going to look at the opportunity God gives us every day to simply be who we are. His pursuit of our hearts frees us as we experience his unconditional, all-encompassing love. So as we open our hearts to his loving pursuit today, I pray that God would do a mighty work of freedom in our hearts.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 139:13, and today's worship is Out Of Hiding by Steffany Gretzinger.
