Immanuel Approach Memo

Continued from 3/26 IAM: Reset

I am… myself again
In a whole new world

Gone are the hidden rooms
Secret gardens
Castles in the air

Actually, not entirely gone

Reborn
Resurrected
Redeemed
Like me

We were all compressed
Crushed
Scattered
Sown
Sprouted

I open my eyes

I look for Jesus.

I see Him everywhere
In everything

Every wall
Every plant
Every building

Every person

Nothing is perfect
-ly transparent
But the harder I have to look for Him
The more beautiful He appears

The harder I have to look for Him
The more beautiful He appears

I look for the garden.

It has become a farm
An orchard
For the Trees of Life
Whose leaves bring healing to the nations

Unlike modern cities
Where farms are on the outside
These are in the heart of the city

Every city has their own orchard
Instead of walls #CenteredSet

Every town has at least one Tree
Like a post office
Or a mayor
Perhaps both

I look at my tree.

My city
My home

He is immediately visible
I don’t have to look for Jesus

I see Him looking for me.

For me… to do what?

To be concluded

Reflection

I feel…

• Reborn a new man
• Restored to my proper kingdom
• Refreshed
• Alive
• Connected
• Surrounded by Jesus
• Like I have new eyes
• Expectant
• Waiting
• Waited upon

Scripture

You are in for trouble, if you try to hide your plans from the Lord! Or if you think what you do in the dark can’t be seen. You have it all backwards. A clay dish doesn’t say to the potter, “You didn’t make me. You don’t even know how.”
Soon the forest of Lebanon will become a field with crops, thick as a forest. The deaf will be able to hear whatever is read to them; the blind will be freed from a life of darkness. The poor and the needy will celebrate and shout because of the Lord, the holy God of Israel.”

Isaiah‬ ‭29‬:‭15‬-‭19‬ ‭CEV‬‬
