Radically Happy

Today’s Most Important Challenge is…

• Sacrificing my hunger for intimacy
• To My Father
• So He can reframe it
• As craving for Christ

Yahweh Approach Memo

Continued from 4/20 YAM: Sailor

I am… ashore.

Clad in armor
Bearing a sword
I come bearing treasure
To freely share with the nations

But
They do not welcome me
They attack
Deceive
Betray

I
Do not fight back
I
Allow them
To strip me
Bind me
Rob me

I cry out for My Father.

He stirs up
Nation against nation
Greed against greed

Til those who betrayed me
Have been betrayed
Those who enslaved me
Have been enslaved
Those who plundered me
Have been plundered

I weep.

I am alone
Again
Still

I have regained my sword
But no armor
And only a single jewel
But no gold

How
Can I save a world
That seems determined
To destroy itself

How
Can I give it gifts
When it will fight over them

How
Can I find love
When there is no peace

I look to My Father.

He hands me a scroll
And says:

Take this
To the highest mountain
Lay down your sword
Unroll the scroll
And read it aloud

I start trembling
I speak in shaky voice:

Lord
I am not worthy
To open the scroll

My Father smiles:

Do not call unworthy
What I have called worthy

I swallow my pride.

I gather
My meager belongings
Cast one last look
At the place of my captivity
And head to the mountains

To be continued

Reflection

I feel…

• Burdened
• Alone
• Weighty
• Purposeful
• Commanded
• Ominous

Scripture

“For Yahweh has turned his anger toward the nations and his fury against all their armies. He has doomed them to destruction and will annihilate them all. Their slain will be cast out, the stench of their corpses will rise, and the mountains will stream with their blood. The heavenly powers will fade away to nothing, and the heavens will be rolled up like a scroll. All their mighty host will wither as leaves fall from a withered vine or fruit from a withering fig tree.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭34‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭TPT‬‬
