There is. I don\u2019t know if I resonate with her or just long to be like her. But it\u2019s Mary Magdalene. She knew something about longing and letting go. We don\u2019t see much of this Mary\u2019s personal life. We know she was from Magdala, but apart from that, we really aren\u2019t told much. But this is what I\u2019ve observed: Mary Magdalene sought one thing every time we see her \u2013 Jesus. She wanted to be near Him. She longed for Him. So, I want to be like her. I want to love Jesus like she did, even if that means embracing a longing for One we\u2019ll never know fully this side of heaven.  Show Notes.
