We Love God!

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

Gossip is our dark moral fervor eagerly seeking gratification. Gossip makes us feel important and needed as we declare our judgments. It makes us feel included to know the inside scoop. It makes us feel powerful to cut someone else down to size, especially someone we are jealous of. It makes us feel righteous, even responsible, to pronounce someone else guilty. Gossip can feel good in multiple ways. But it is of the flesh, not of the Spirit.

Often we refuse to forgive others because we mistakenly think that to do so is to minimize their sin. “And that’s not fair! He really hurt me. If I forgive, who’s going to care for me and take up my cause and nurse my wounds?” God is. We must never buy into the lie that to forgive means that sin is being whitewashed or ignored or that the perpetrator is not being held accountable for his/her actions. It simply means we consciously choose to let God be the one who determines the appropriate course of action in dealing justly with the offending person… To long for justice is entirely legitimate, but to seek it for yourself is not. Let God deal with the offender in his own way at the appropriate time. He’s much better at it than your or I.

    INGREDIENTS

    Olive oil spray
    1 Clove garlic; slivered
    1 md Zucchini; quartered lengthwise
    3/4 c Red, green, and yellow bell peppers; cut in strips
    Salt and pepper
    8 oz Garbanzo beans, canned; rinsed and drained
    4 tb Chopped fresh cilantro; divided
    2 tb Vinegar and oil salad dressing

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Heat a (raised-ridge) griddle to moderate high; spray with oil. Put garlic
and vegetables in the pan.  Lightly brown (soften) the garlic; roast
zucchini and sweet peppers. Add oil as needed to prevent burning. Turn
occasionally.  Season with pepper and salt when the vegetables are nearly
tender.
Allow about 10 minutes for the vegetables to cool before chopping the
zucchini into bite-sized pieces.  Transfer chopped vegetables, garbanzo
beans, and half the chopped cilantro into a glass serving bowl.  Toss with
a low-fat Balsamic vinaigrette. Garnish it and the pasta dish with the
remaining chopped cilantro. (Makes 2 to 3 portions)

NOTES : This is a simple recipe that features the roasted flavors of the
vegetables. Serve warm with angle hair spaghetti topped with Spicy
Red Pepper Sauce; Classico's slightly chunky "di roma arrabbiata"
was good, especially when simmered, not just heated.  Other sides:
oat-nutty bread and honied blueberries. (July 96)
