How do you measure the value of something you hold dear? How do you assess the worth of a prize? Is it not by the depth of delight it induces in your heart? Is it not by the intensity and quality of your joy in what it is? Is it not by how excited and enthralled and thrilled you are in the manifold display of its attributes, characteristics, and properties? Is it not by the extent of the sacrifice you are willing to make to gain it, to guard it, and to keep it? In other words, your satisfaction in what the treasure is and does for you is the standard or gauge by which its glory (worth and value) is revealed. The treasure, which is God, is most glorified in and by you when your pleasure in Him is maximal and optimal.

INSTRUCTIONS
SAUCE
STEAKS
FOR SAUCE: Mix wine, beef and chicken stocks, shallots and thyme in heavy
medium saucepan over high heat. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 30
minutes.
FOR STEAKS: Mix cream cheese, garlic, thyme, tarragon, chives and basil in
small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Sauce and cheese mixture can be
made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.)
Preheat oven to 400°F. Using small sharp knife, cut an X in top center of
each steak, cutting 3/4 of the way through. Fill each X with 1 tablespoon
cheese mixture. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large
ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add steaks, cut side down, and cook until
brown, about 1 minute. Using metal spatula, carefully turn steaks over,
scraping up cheese crust with steak. Cook until bottom is brown, about 1
minute.
Transfer skillet to oven and cook steaks to desired doneness, about 12
minutes for rare. Transfer steaks to plates. Tent with foil to keep warm.
Bring sauce to simmer. Remove from heat. Gradually add butter, whisking
just until melted. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce
over steaks and serve.
