We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The vague and tenuous hope that God is too kind to punish the ungodly has become a deadly opiate for the consciences of millions.
A.W. Tozer

Now, how would a God like this go about loving us? Would it not be by providing us with the highest good possible? And is not God Himself the highest good? Therefore, if God really loves us, He must work to bring us into the enjoyment of who He is (there’s our happiness) and thereby win from our hearts praise for Himself (there’s His glory). He must do everything in His infinite power to lead us into praise and honor of His name. By winning for Himself our worship as the God of all glory, we experience the greatest possible satisfaction, namely, enjoying God. There’s our happiness again. And God is most glorified by our enjoyment of Him. Or, to put it in words we already heard, God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.

INSTRUCTIONS

A delicious pea soup recipe from Laurel's Kitchen cookbook. Since it has
barley, I thought I'd post if for Karen. I've made this recipe many times.
Saute onion in broth (original recipe used 2 T oil) until soft, along with
bay leaf and celery seed. Stir in peas, barley and limas. Add 2 quarts
water and bring to a boil. Cook on low heat, partially covered, for about
an hour and a half.
Add salt, pepper, vegetables and herbs. Turn heat down as low as possible
and simmer another 30 to 45 minuts. Thin with additional water of stock as
you like. Correct seasonings. Makes about 8 or 9 cups.
