We Love God!

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

Free will I have often heard of, but I have never seen it. I have met with will, and plenty of it, but it has either been led captive by sin or held in blessed bonds of grace.
C.H. Spurgeon

It is common to hear people saying on their deathbeds, “I only want the Lord to forgive me my sins, and take me to rest.” But those who say such things forget that the rest of heaven would be utterly useless if we had no heart to enjoy it! What could an unsanctified man do in heaven, if by any chance he got there? Let that question be fairly looked in the face, and fairly answered. No man can possibly be happy in a place where he is not in his element, and where all around him is not congenial to his tastes, habits, and character. When an eagle is happy in an iron cage, when a sheep is happy in the water, when an owl is happy in the blaze of noonday sun, when a fish is happy on the dry land - then, and not till then, will I admit that the unsanctified man could be happy in heaven.
J.C. Ryle

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 220c/452f/Gas 7.
1 Cut half the leek into thin julienne strips. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a
frying pan and cook the leek gently until softened.
2 Add the ham and cook for another minute to heat through. Add the white
wine and double cream and simmer.
3 Sprinkle over the thyme leaves, 2 tbsp flour and 1 tbsp water and stir to
make a smooth sauce. Tip the mixture onto a greased pie plate.
4 Place 175g/6oz flour and 85g/3oz butter in a food processor and blitz to
make crumbs. Add the mustard powder, tarragon, egg yolks and 2 tbsp olive
oil and 'pulse' to make a dough.
5 Roll out on a floured worksurface and lay on top of the leek and ham
filling. Seal the edges of pastry, trim off the excess and bake in the oven
for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
Slice and garnish with sprigs of coriander.
6 Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large ovenproof frying pan, add the sausages
and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning often to brown all over. Drizzle over 2
tbsp honey, put the pan to the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes, until cooked
through.
7 Slice half the remaining leek and place in a pan with balsamic vinegar
and red wine. Boil and simmer rapidly until reduced and thickened.
8 Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a wok. Chop the remaining leek and add to the
pan with the grated parsnip. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender,
season and add 25g/1oz butter.
9 Cook for another minute or so, until the butter has melted, then add 1
1/2 tbsp honey and toss together.
10 Pile the stir-fried parsnips on a plate, arrange the sausages on top and
drizzle over the sauce.
11 For the Meringue Custard Tart: Whisk together the egg whites, 8 tbsp
caster sugar and a pinch of ground cinnamon until stiff peaks.
12 Pipe or spoon the meringue over the surface of the custard tart,
sprinkle over more cinnamon and place on a baking sheet and cook in the
oven for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown.
13 Heat 55g/2oz caster sugar in a frying pan, add the orange segments and
cook until caramelised. Serve the tart on a plate with caramelised oranges.
Pour the Babycham into glasses.
