Welcome back to Homeopathy at Home with Melissa . Hey , Melissa .
Hey Brie , I am super excited to jump back into our encouragement series , and so tonight , today , we're going to talk about your point number three , which was what ?
Number three is unique healing journeys . So to do a quick recap , if you haven't listened to the other two , I'm just going over these points that I talked about at the retreat , which was amazing . So when you see it advertised again because we will do it next year , you need to sign up . It was wonderful .
But God just has used my journey in homeopathy the experience with my family , with clients , in classes that Melissa's teaching while we're talking with people Very often there'd be a principle of homeopathy that would remind me of a principle of spiritual growth and not I am not at all wanting to glorify homeopathy or turn it into homeopathy is in the Bible .
You know it's really the spiritual side was totally separate from homeopathy . But , just like anything else in our lives , god has used my role here and what he's taught me and homeopathy to reflect him . So I would encourage you to think that way about anything you do . Um , there are that . You should be able to see that everywhere .
So this is just a way God has revealed himself to me and encouraged me in my walk . So we're just going over them and hopefully that'll encourage you . So number one was healing comes from the inside out . Two was stimulating the body to heal takes time . And now three today is we all have unique healing journeys .
So the principle in homeopathy that that reminded me of this was just recognizing that the process of healing with homeopathy looks different for everyone . Remedies that we choose are different for everyone .
How long it takes to heal , how the symptoms move around and are pushed out of the body looks different , and sometimes , from the outside or even when you're the person using a remedy , that healing can feel really out of order based on what we're seeing on the outside and even sometimes based on what you're feeling .
But they are unique and they're still powerful and meaningful and lead to healing . So in the same way , or in a similar way , our spiritual journeys are unique .
So our journey to spiritual growth , our journey of sanctification , god's plan for each of us , overarching God's will , is very similar to glorify him , to tell the world about him , to know him more deeply .
But the way that that comes out in our life is very tailored to our individual needs , to our circumstances , to how God has wired us um to our calling to our calling . Yeah , yeah , I mean , and even this , like God is showing me stuff in homeopathy that other people can learn these same principles not even using homeopathy , not even knowing anything .
Um , but yeah , that's really good . And you know , psalm 139 talks about that how God has , uniquely , he's knitted each of us to knit knit that's past tense , I know this I homeschool knit us all together in our mother's womb and created us in his image , but individually . Created us in his image , but individually .
And there are times in our lives that the order of our growth might feel out of order , whether we're assessing that in ourselves or even in other people . I know for sure in my marriage so if you've been married at all there were things in my husband when we were early married . I'm like it'd be really nice if God worked here .
And now , looking back , gosh , I'm so thankful that God , in his sovereignty and in his grace , chose to work in him in the ways that he did . And the growth in those other areas has come . But you know , in my outside perspective , in selfishness , truly , I was like I want those to come . I wanted those to come 10 years ago .
But I can look back and see how the way that our family has built his vision for our family . I would never flip it anymore Seeing what I see now . And so that's how , in other people's lives , we have to remember . So in homeopathy we're often that's how , in other people's lives , we have to remember .
So in homeopathy we're often it's easier to assess from the outside . I actually think sometimes in spiritual growth , with people close to you , it can be more difficult to see and celebrate their growth . Um . So God , who created us , shaped us and knows his original design and purpose for us , knows that better than anybody else .
So our whole life here is a constant process of pointing to eternity . So we can know that his methods of growing us are trustworthy and the way that that comes about we can rest in that are trustworthy , and the way that that comes about , we can rest in that . Um .
I also think it's interesting knowing like we are moving toward eternity , which we maybe get a glimpse of , but we don't know .
We have an idea , we have faith in the things that God says about eternity , and I just think of people who have been sick for a really long time and are just , you know , like so discouraged they can't even remember or imagine walking in health again and they still choose to take their remedies and do what they need to do , committed to getting better , really
in faith . And I think , in the same way that we , when we are committed to our growth in our individual ways , that we are trusting and hoping in something greater that we don't , we haven't experienced yet . Um , and along the same lines , where are ?
We are created uniquely , which means we are all when we know Christ , we have surrendered to Jesus and we are part of the body of Christ . The Holy Spirit gifts us also uniquely and individually , to serve the body . Romans 12 , 6 says we have different gifts according to the grace given to each of us .
So even in that regard , knowing that our gifts will look different than those around us , we should also expect that that process , the development and the refining of those gifts , looks different . It's not like you're learning an instrument and so everybody just goes to a piano lesson or a guitar lesson and you're just equally like .
You're a beginner and I'm in middle , intermediate , advanced . Melissa and I have talked about the discernment , like you , and I have mentioned a lot how God is developing that in us and even how our processes look very different .
Our experiences getting there look very different , but I just want to encourage all of you to lean into those ways that , whatever the circumstances are around you , the other people God has in your life , lean into the ways God's working to refine you and your gifts and know that it will be unique to you and that's good and a thing worth celebrating .
And use that for the body and not comparison , not judgment , on other people . We are not all gifted the same , and so you can be really flourishing in an area and gifted in an area that somebody else is not and that can be valuable . Together it doesn't can be you create unity rather than division or resentment or whatever .
So that's in a nutshell , and do you have any thoughts , melissa ?
Yeah , so comparison is a thief of joy and , um , so I love that you said that that we , as soon as , as soon as we understand , um , our God given gifts and how he wants us to use them , and that we are each unique and just to be yourself . Really , there's just so much freedom in that .
And then you know , that even made me think of as you all learn , to how to help your family and your and your friends and your community with homeopathy . None of you are going to do it exactly like I do it , so you're not going to , so you can . I don't want you to get stuck .
Those of you that are listening and watching , I don't want you to get stuck in . Well , I you know that you have to do it just like me or just like Bree or just like anybody else , because you're not going to .
So , as I'm bringing people onto my team to take cases under my supervision and you know I'm teaching each person , you're unique , but teaching each person , you're unique . So I want you to take the case in your own style .
I want you you're going to think of remedies that maybe I wouldn't think of , or , but so , as long as the plan is appropriate and actually can work , then I'm not going to say , oh no , no , we don't know , that's not what I would do . I would do this because then if I did that , you would never , ever think you'll never be just like me .
So there's no , you wouldn't be able to grow in that .
So I always encourage people to grow in their own unique way and and that's even you know , that's yes , in your spiritual gifts and in your walk with the Lord , but then also in homeopathy , as you're helping your family and your community , you're not going to do it exactly like anybody else and you don't have to you are really good at that , really good , and
it's I mean , it has to come from a place of humility , but you really trust in the Lord and I think that's why you so easily like celebrate other people .
Um , even when we do case reviews or I talk with you about an idea I have , even if you share something different , you always are like but you could try that , that's not a bad idea , or try it and maybe it would be great . And there's not any pride or ego where you're not creating other people to just be like you .
Um , and there's not a threat when somebody is not and that's like not an easy place to live . I feel like that takes intentionality .
Thank you for that . Yeah , I want , I want a diverse team , you know , because people different people are coming to me and I can't make everybody happy and I don't . I don't want to expect to , but you know , if I can see , when I do these free discovery calls , if I can , sometimes I can see .
You know what this person is a good fit for Kimberly or Bree or , you know , lisa or whoever I've got . You know whoever in the future might be working with me . So anyway , thank you for sharing that . I love these points . This is so fun to do .
I'm so happy you're like , I mean , that I get to share them this way . It feels really good . I do feel like it's something that God has just shown to me , so being able to share it is great . I love that .
I love it too . Thank you for sharing it , so we'll see you guys next time for point number four .
