Today’s Most Important Challenge is…
- Finding the grace
- To embrace other people’s unpleasant realities
- So they feel secure enough
- To embrace mine
Immanuel Approach Memo
I am… searching.
I don’t remember for what.
Picking through grains of sand on the beach
Turning over fallen leaves in the forest
Sifting out dust onto a scale
What am I looking for?
Why is it so hard to find?
I look to Jesus.
He points directly at my heart.
He says
“You are looking
For the missing peace”
He smiles
Sadly
“If you open your heart
And let me in
I will show you”
To be continued
Reflection
I feel…
- Exposed
- Hiding behind busyness
- Vulnerable
- Seen
Scripture
“No, for all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket. They are nothing more than dust on the scales. He picks up the whole earth as though it were a grain of sand. All the wood in Lebanon’s forests and all Lebanon’s animals would not be enough to make a burnt offering worthy of our God. The nations of the world are worth nothing to him. In his eyes they count for less than nothing— mere emptiness and froth.
Isaiah 40:15-20 NLT
To whom can you compare God? What image can you find to resemble him? Can he be compared to an idol formed in a mold, overlaid with gold, and decorated with silver chains? Or if people are too poor for that, they might at least choose wood that won’t decay and a skilled craftsman to carve an image that won’t fall down!”
