Radically Happy

MIC Check

Today’s Most Important Challenge is…

• Trusting God’s Spirit
• Rather than my strengths
• To herd my contradictory impulses

Immanuel Approach Memo

Continued from 2/10 IAM: Faith-Fully Clothed

I am… a little child
Newly emerged from battle/birth
Wearing only a purple sash
Belted around my waist by a crown of thorns
On my bloody and pierced body

Behind me
Are natural enemies
Predator and prey
Villain and victim

I cannot control them
Though I have been fool enough to try

No more
Instead
I lead them
And for some reason
They follow

I look for Jesus.

He is in front
Bearing a heavy cross
Like it’s an easy yoke

They aren’t following me
They are following Him

But somehow
I make Him easier to see
Or perhaps relate to

To be continued…

Reflection

I feel…

• Small
• Overwhelmed
• Formidable
• Ridiculous
• Hopeful
• Grateful
• Torn

Scripture

The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the goat; the calf and young lion and fatling will be together, and a little child will lead them.

Isaiah 11:6
