info_outlineHey friend, have you ever started the New Year with grand goals only to feel doubt and confusion creeping in just a week later? You’re not alone. Many of us set those lofty New Year's resolutions and quickly find ourselves wondering, "Can I really do this?"
This week on the Nourish to Bloom Podcast (episode 44, just saying!), I delved into a transformative perspective that might just shift the way you approach your goals. Spoiler alert: It’s all about letting Jesus find you, even in those messy, doubt-filled moments.
Here's the thing that stood out to me the most...
I explored Heather Kim’s Advent devotional, Encountering Emmanuel, and her unique take on the Parable of the Lost Sheep. Instead of just thinking about the lost sheep as a wayward soul, she invites us to consider those lost parts within ourselves – parts that need Jesus's healing touch.
Think about it – what if those parts of you that feel distant or doubting are just areas that haven’t yet encountered the Lord’s full love?
Here's a sneak peek at what you can expect to hear inside Episode 44 of the Nourish to Bloom Podcast 👀:
🌟 A new interpretation of the Parable of the Lost Sheep through Heather Kim’s Advent devotional
🐑 Maybe it’s your fear of failure, or the comparison game you play, or even a hidden dream you’re scared to pursue.
🗺 How to identify parts of your life that feel distant from the Lord’s love and bring them into His fold
🙏 Practical steps to invite Jesus into the hidden or fearful parts of your heart
🤗 How setting goals with God’s guidance can transform your life
✏️ The importance of integrating faith into your New Year's resolutions for a holistic approach to wellness
Here’s the key to a more joyful, peaceful and fulfilled life: By identifying these "lost sheep" within us and actively inviting Jesus into those spaces, we experience His transformative love. This isn’t just about setting goals; it’s about integrating and healing parts of us that need His touch.
Friend, you are capable of incredible growth and transformation, even when doubt and fear try to tell you differently.
