Following the Star
“Today, if you hear His voice, harden not your hearts.”
– Hebrews 3:15
As we step further into this new year, it’s a wonderful time to reflect on our goals and aspirations. This episode serves as a compelling guide to align our personal goals with spiritual growth. Beth dives into the rich symbolism of the Three Wise Men and their journey, using it as a metaphor for our own spiritual and physical transformation.
Beth encourages us to set goals that resonate with our journey towards heaven, weaving together elements of spirituality, personal refinement, and divine guidance. In her own words, these goals should be “cognizant of healthy living,” deliberate in purpose, and, most importantly, aligned with God’s desires. By focusing on these refined intentions, we’re setting ourselves up not just for an amazing year, but for eternity.
In this episode, Beth revisits the profound story of the Wise Men from the Mystical City of God, as recounted by Venerable Mary of Agreda. It’s a beautiful narrative that reminds us of the importance of seeking Jesus and His transformative love in our daily lives. Beth highlights key gifts to give as inspired by the Wise Men’s offerings to the newborn King—gold through love for one another, frankincense through continual prayer and worship, and myrrh through fasting.
Beth poignantly asks, “Do your goals align with heaven?” and encourages us to fall in love with Jesus more deeply, always seeking Him first in our journey. This episode serves as a heartfelt reminder that true transformation is possible when we move towards Jesus, allowing His rebirth to take place in our hearts throughout the year.
For those ready to embrace this path, Beth suggests striving for spiritual gifts symbolized through love, prayer, and fasting. Let’s welcome this call to transformation and form our goals with these gifts in mind, drawing closer to God with each step we take.
Beth also touches upon the story of the Little Drummer Boy, an inspiring reminder that the simple, sincere gifts we offer can be the most cherished. It’s an invitation to see past the distractions of life and align with what truly matters—our relationship with Jesus through Mary.
Let this be a year where you follow the guiding star in your heart, keeping your eyes on Jesus no matter where life’s journey takes you. We hope this episode enriches your spiritual path and encourages you to live a year full of purpose and transformation.
Remember to write your goals down! Cement them in your heart and mind, asking God’s guidance to help you achieve them in ways that please Him. 🌟
May God bless you on your journey.
