Radically Happy

MIC Check

• Today’s Most Important Challenge is…
• Finding the right alternative to my heavy yoke
• So I fully engage with God’s Christ’s mission
• In an emotionally healthy way

Immanuel Approach Memo

I am carrying a heavy yoke.

It is not a bad yoke.
It is a godly yoke.

I see the brokenness of the world.
I see how Jesus has healed me.
I want to help them.

But I am torn between the tension
Of wanting to give people what I have
And knowing I often give them myself
Rather than Jesus
Just to ease my own pain

I cry out to Jesus.

My yoke becomes lighter.

I look for Jesus.
But I don’t see Him.

I see you.
I see all of you.
All of us.

Then I see Christ
In us
And there is no them

Reflection

I feel…

• Together
• Weary and heavy laden
• One in a million
• De-tired

Scripture

“The Lord Almighty will lash them with a whip, as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb; and he will raise his staff over the waters, as he did in Egypt.
In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭10‬:‭26‬-‭27‬ ‭NIV‬‬
