We Love God!

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

The word “transformed” in 2 Corinthians 3:18 is from the Greek verb “metamorphoo.” It is where we derive our English word, “metamorphosis.” When I think of a metamorphosis, I think of a butterfly. Before Christ, you lived for self. You were a slave to sin and Satan and your spiritual state in the eyes of God was like an ugly caterpillar. But due to Christ’s work on the cross, you are now a beautiful butterfly in His eyes. And while that is your nature positionally before Him, you have the ability with Him to be transformed practically to be more like Him too. As God is the epitome of moral beauty, His children should (should I say “will”) be growing into that beauty as we behold our God and undergo an ongoing beautiful metamorphosis by the power of the Holy Spirit. Practically speaking, all Christians are moving from an ugly caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly as they mature in their faith.

INSTRUCTIONS

a
I had a good time looking for recipes, beet and fava. A great place  to
look for beet recipes is in a Russian cookbook. I found a lot of  them
in Please to the Table, the Russian Cookbook by Anya von Bremzen  &
John Welchman. Here's a great vegetarian one, slightly adapted.  Saute
onion, carrot, and pepper in the 6 tb of broth until slightly  soft,
about 5minutes. Stir in cabbage, beet, and celery and continue  to
saute, stirring and tossing occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir  in
apple, potatoes, tomato paste, and garlic, then add stock and  bouquet
garni and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered,  for  juice
to taste. Let stand at least 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Remove  bouquet
garni before serving. Srve garnished with parsley and dill.  Serves 8.
