We Love God!

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

Every true prayer has its background and its foreground. The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.

INSTRUCTIONS

This is an exquisite dish created by the talented Mollie Katzen. She
advises the use of perfectlyRipe berries to maximize the effects of this
traditional Italian treat. Please note that the berries may be sliced and
sugared up to a day in advance. However the vinegar should be applied
within
30    minutes of serving.
1. Clean the strawberries by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Avoid
washing them directly in water as this dilutes the flavor of the berries by
ab- sorbtion. 2. Hull the strawberries, and halve or slice them. This would
depend on their size. Place the berries on a shallow pan (10-inch pie pan)
and sprinkle with sugar. 3. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to
sit for several hours, shaking the pan every so often. If you plan you plan
on letting then sit for more than 3 1/2 hours, they will have to
beRefrigerated. 4. Sprinkle with vinegar within a half hour of serving
atRoom temperature.

A Message from our Provider:

“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
