Can you expound on this? I want to be sure I understand.

It probably does sound like hocus-pocus feel-good theology, but there’s plenty to back this up.
Each of us are made in God’s image and we know there’s a “standard,” a sort of potential within us that we all fall short of. When we discover the Creator of that image inside, we realize He’s the one who’s been beckoning us to our true selves all along.
Paul alludes to this several times, especially in Romans 7:19-20 —
For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
