We Love God!

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

Whatever subject I preach, I do not stop until I reach the Savior, the Lord Jesus, for in Him are all things.
C.H. Spurgeon

It is probable that in most of us the spiritual life is impoverished and stunted because we give so little place to gratitude. It is more important to thank God for blessings received than to pray for them beforehand. For that forward-looking prayer, though right as an expression of dependence upon God, is still self-centered in part, at least, of its interest; there is something we hope to gain by our prayer. But the backward-looking act of thanksgiving is quite free from this. In itself it is quite selfless. Thus it is akin to love. All our love to God is in response to his love for us; it never starts on our side. "We love, because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19).

INSTRUCTIONS

Adapted from "Gourmet's Holidays and Celebrations" from the Editors of
Gourmet (Random House, 1992)  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a
loaf pan approximately  9-by-5-by-3 inches or two smaller pans. In a
small bowl, use a fork  to combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking
powder and spices. In a  large bowl, cream shortening with sugar. Add
eggs and combine. Stir  in buttermilk, pumpkin puree and chutney and
combine well. Add the  flour mixture, walnuts and raisins and stir just
to combine. Don't  overmix. Spoon batter into prepared pan and bake in
the middle of the  oven for 60 to 70 minutes (40 to 45 for small
loaves), or until a  skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let
bread cool in pan  on a rack for 10 minutes. Loosen edges with a knife
and remove loaf  from the pan. Let bread cool, right side up, on the
rack for 2 hours.  Bread can be made 1 week ahead and kept
refrigerated, wrapped tightly  in foil. It can also be frozen in foil
for 1 month. Serve bread with  softened cream cheese mixed with chopped
chutney. Makes 1 large loaf  or two small ones.  Posted to MM-Recipes
