God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
[Salvation of another] is what man cannot do. It is impossible. Only God can take out the heart of stone (Eze. 36:26). Only God can draw people to the Son (Jn. 6:44, 65). Only God can open the heart so that it gives heed to the gospel (Ac. 16:14). Only the Good Shepherd knows His sheep by name. He calls them and they follow (Jn. 10:3-4, 14). The sovereign grace of God, doing the humanly impossible, is the great missionary hope.
We should neither court suffering nor complain about it. Instead, we should see it as one of the means God chooses to employ in order to make us increasingly useful to the Master. It is from this perspective that James urges his readers to “consider it pure joy…whenever you face trials of many kinds” (James 1:2).
I make this cheesecake often, especially in the fall. I don't use special
recipe, just make a plain, New York type cheesecake, but add apple pie
spices like cinnamon and nutmeg (to taste). Then add diced fresh apples to
taste (couple of cups usually). Then top the whole thing with a streusel
topping (butter, sugar and a little flour all cut up together) like you
would put on a Dutch Apple Pie and bake as the directions for the plain
cheesecake suggest.
It is wonderful.
