“Find the place
Where God is most highly exalted
You will recognize it
By the peace He brings”
Noel, Part 1

Today’s Most Important Challenge is…

  • Finishing well
  • So we can start anew

Immanuel Approach Memo

Continued from Worked

I am… transfigured.

Incarnate
Crucified
Ascended

Reborn

Simultaneously
Cut off from
Yet more present with
Everyone I knew

I look for Jesus.

I cannot see Him

In some ways
I am further from Him
Than I ever was

But I am wiser now
I can see clearer

I look to the West
I see a star
Calling to me

I respond
To the light
And follow
One step at a time

To be concluded

Reflection

I feel…

  • Shattered
  • Broken
  • Rebuilt
  • Prepared
  • Ready
  • The opposite of aimless

Scripture

“The Lord says, “I was ready to respond, but no one asked for help. I was ready to be found, but no one was looking for me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am!’ to a nation that did not call on my name.
All day long I opened my arms to a rebellious people. But they follow their own evil paths and their own crooked schemes. All day long they insult me to my face by worshiping idols in their sacred gardens. They burn incense on pagan altars. At night they go out among the graves, worshiping the dead. They eat the flesh of pigs and make stews with other forbidden foods.
Yet they say to each other, ‘Don’t come too close or you will defile me! I am holier than you!’ These people are a stench in my nostrils, an acrid smell that never goes away.”‭‭

Isaiah‬ ‭65‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬
