God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The elect person is a gift from God to Christ based on Christ’s satisfactory work, not on my satisfactory work. If a person could lose his salvation, it could only be on the basis of God’s dissatisfaction with the finished work of Christ. But He has declared once and for all, and it is written infallibly in the pages of Scripture, that He is satisfied. And if God is satisfied with what Christ has done, the issue is settled.
Criticism should be viewed as a tool for growth and change. Several temptations arise when we experience criticism. 1. We fear the loss of respect; 2. We look for reasons to challenge the data; 3. We search for flaws in the process; 4. We point out weakness in the other person; 5. We demand credit for our strengths; 6. We play the martyr, reeling under the unjust complaints of others. Yet, when we run away from the slightest hint of criticism, we forfeit the very means by which our Lord wants to make us more effective and godly.

IF THE CURRANTS ARE HARD, cover them with warm water and set them aside to
soften while you cut the celery and apples. When they're soft, after 10
minutes or so, drain them and squeeze out the water. Separate the stalks of
celery and peel the tougher outer stalks. Slice the celery into thin
pieces, straight across or at an angle. Cut the apples into quarters or
sixths if they're large and thinly slice them crosswise. Finely chop the
celery leaves and the parsley and crack the nuts. Combine the celery,
apples, currants, celery leaves, parsley and walnuts in a bowl. Toss them
with just enough walnut oil to coat everything lightly. Add the lemon juice
or vinegar to taste, salt lightly, season with pepper and toss again.
