We Love God!

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

If you are ever going to be an ambassador in the hands of a God of glorious and powerful grace, you must die. You must die to your plans for your own life. You must die to your self-focused dreams of success. You must die to your demands for comfort and ease. You must die to your individual definition of the good life. You must die to your demands for pleasure, acclaim, prominence, and respect. You must die to your desire to be in control. You must die to your hope for independent righteousness. You must die to your plans for others. You must die to your cravings for a certain lifestyle or that particular location. You must die to your own kingship. You must die to the pursuit of your own glory in order to take up the cause of the glory of Another. You must die to your control over your own time. You must die to your maintenance of your own reputation. You must die to having the final answer and getting your own way. You must die to your unfaltering confidence in you. You must die.
Paul David Tripp

There may be circumstances in your earthly lot which at this moment are peculiarly trying. You look around and wonder how this or that circumstance will terminate. At present it looks very dark-clouds and mists hang over it, and you fear lest these clouds may break, not in showers upon your head, but burst forth in the lightning flash and the thunder stroke! But all things are put in subjection under Christ's feet! That which you dread cannot take place except by His sovereign will-nor can it move any further except by His supreme disposal. Then make yourself quiet. He will not allow you to be harmed. That frowning providence shall only execute His sovereign purposes, and it shall be among those all things which, according to His promise, shall work together for your good. None of our trials come upon us by chance! They are all appointed in weight and measure-are all designed to fulfill a certain end. And however painful they may at present be, yet they are intended for your good. When the trial comes upon you, what a help it would be for you if you could view it thus, “This trial is sent for my good. It does not spring out of the dust. The Lord Himself is the supreme disposer of it. It is very painful to bear; but let me believe that He has appointed me this peculiar trial, along with every other circumstance. He will bring about His own will therein, and either remove the trial, or give me patience under it, and submission to it.

Dairy Food networ, Food5 1 servings

INGREDIENTS

1 lg Bought in sponge flan case
750 ml Double cream
2 Punnets of fresh strawberries
1/2 Punnet mixed berries
200 g Caster sugar
50 g Icing sugar
Fresh mint
Drambuie

INSTRUCTIONS

Take one 8-10 inch stainless steel ring and cut out the centre of the flan.
With a sharp knife carefully cut the disc in half through the middle so you
end up with two thin discs.
Whip the double cream with 1oz of sugar and a shot of drambuie to a thick
peek consistency and keep in the fridge. Take the strawberries leaving some
whole for garnish (about 10 of the small ones and cut the green off and cut
in half long ways).
Line the ring with the largest strawberry halves cut side against the ring.
You won't need all of the strawberries but will need these for filling.
Place the whipped cream in the ring and gently press to the edges and add
the rest of the strawberries and flatten the top. Add the other disc of
sponge on the top and dust with the icing sugar all over the top.
Lift the cake on to a plate and remove from the heat to cool slightly.
While this is cooling, take a hot metal skewer that is red hot and score
the top in lines to create a diamond style pattern. Dress the top with the
leftover strawberries and berries and garnish with sprigs of fresh mint.
To finish, dip a small spoon into the sugar and twist around to create some
curls. Drag some more sugar over the top to create spun sugar. Place this
on the top of the berries and serve.
