172. Do You See Me? Going After the One

172. Do You See Me? Going After the One

Author: Heidi Fitzsimmons - Inspirational Writer & Podcaster September 13, 2026 Duration: 12:42
Hello, beautiful! Thank you for walking this journey with me, my sweet. Two weeks in, and it means the world. Last week we sat with the truth that you are seen. This week, we go a little deeper, and a little braver. There's a story in Luke where Jesus tells us about a shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to go after the one sheep that wandered off, and it's the heart of this whole episode. He doesn't wait at the gate for the lost one to find her own way home. He goes. And this week, we learn to go too, to be tuned in to the friend, the sister, the mama, the child who slipped a little further away while everyone was looking somewhere else. You’ll Learn: 👣 Why the shepherd leaves the ninety-nine, and what that means for the one you love who's gone quiet 👣 A few gentler, quieter signs to notice: in her words, her tone, and one that hides inside a sudden calm 👣 How to be the anchor and the raft without ever having to fix her, and the grace to see the people right in front of you   ✨ Plus, a prayer for the woman who feels like the lost little sheep, and a reminder that He is already coming for her.   📖 Grab your tea and your copy of My Beloved: A 30-Day Devotional to Receive, Release, & Radiate, available at: https://riselovelive.com/MyBelovedAmazon   💛 A gentle word before you go: if you or someone you love is struggling, please know you are not alone, and you are not a burden. You can call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, any time, day or night. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month; let's see each other, and let's stay.    🌟 Know someone who needs a little light? Share this episode with a friend; it might be the gentle nudge they've been waiting for.   🌿 Please Stay in Touch: 🦋And if you want to bring my message to your women's group, church, retreat, or team, I’d be honored. Please go to HeidiSpeaks.com to start the conversation! 🦋 Follow along on Instagram @riselovelive 🦋 Subscribe & leave a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review!   And until next time… Ignite inspiration, spread hope, and dance with faith.   With love, 💛 Heidi
