We Love God!

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

God’s emotional life is infinitely complex beyond our ability to fully comprehend. For example, who can comprehend that the Lord hears in one moment of time the prayers of ten million Christians around the world, and sympathizes with each one personally and individually like a caring Father (as Hebrews 4:15 says He will), even though among those ten million prayers some are broken-hearted and some are bursting with joy? How can God weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice when they are both coming to Him at the same time – in fact are always coming to Him with no break at all? Or who can comprehend that God is angry at the sin of the world every day (Psalm 7:11), and yet every day, every moment, He is rejoicing with tremendous joy because somewhere in the world a sinner is repenting (Luke 15:7, 10, 23)? Who can comprehend that God continually burns with hot anger at the rebellion of the wicked, grieves over the unholy speech of his people (Ephesians 4:29-30), yet takes pleasure in them daily (Psalm 149:4), and ceaselessly makes merry over penitent prodigals who come home?
John Piper

Religion says, “Attain”; the gospel says, “Obtain.” Religion says, “Attempt”; the gospel says, “Accept.” Religion says, “Try”; the gospel says, “Trust.” Religion says, “Do this;” the gospel says, “It is done” (John T. Seamands).

    1 Servings

    INGREDIENTS

    2 lg Portabello mushrooms, sliced thin
    1 tb Olive oil
    3 Fresh tangerines, juice of (about 1/2 cup)
    1/4 c Sherry
    1 tb Brown sugar
    1 tb Horseradish

    INSTRUCTIONS

    Saute the sliced mushrooms in the olive oil for about five minutes, or
until they start to give off their moisture. Mix the tangerine juice (I'm
sure you could use orange juice), the sherry, the brown sugar, and the
horseradish together and pour over the mushrooms. Cook over medium heat for
about ten more minutes until the sauce has reduced by one-half and has
glazed the mushrooms.
I actually started feeling much better after I ate this concoction and
think I will keep the recipe to use as a side dish with chicken or over
rice for a light supper.
