We Love God!

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

How can I tell if my trust in the Lord is wholehearted? One way is this. Do I let the Bible overrule my own thinking? It says, “Do not lean on your own understanding” [Pr. 3:5]. So, do I agree with the Bible, or do I obey the Bible? If I merely agree with the Bible, then my positive response is not obedience but coincidence. The Bible just happens to line up with the prejudices I’ve soaked up from my background. But what do I do when the Bible contradicts what I want to be true — especially when, on top of that, it seems culturally remote and perplexing? If I’m reading the Bible for excuses for what I want anyway, my heart has already drifted from the Lord. But if I trust Him wholeheartedly, I will let the Bible challenge my most cherished thoughts and feelings.

The story of Christmas celebrates the fulfillment of God’s promises and the incarnation of God in human flesh. That meaning is memorably captured by John 3:16. God loves, and God gives in order to save… It meant giving rather than getting, and Christ gave until He was empty; but His obedience led to an empty tomb and ultimate vindication that will culminate when throngs in heaven and on earth and under the earth, not just a host of angels, will bow down and sing glory in the highest to the One whose name is above every name.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 c Nonfat cottage cheese
1 Tomato; peeled and seeded, chopped
1 Cucumber; (more or less depending on the size), chopped with or without skin
Salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

A couple of ideas to use your cucumbers (and other stuff from the
garden): When I was young, my mom used to make a lowfat salad
dressing with produce from the garden:
Place all ingredients in an osterizor and blend til smooth. You can
also add fresh chopped dill or parsley.
Another thing you can do with cucumbers is to slice them and put them
on your sandwiches. Really good.
