God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Counseling Principles:
1. When seeking to bring about change, never attempt to do so in the abstract; people change only in concrete ways.
2. Always give hope. People will not persevere during the often-difficult process of change without hope.
3. Never minimize the severity of problems; instead always maximize Christ and His power to solve problems.
4. If a person has a life-dominating problem, aim at total restructuring.
5. Always approach the seemingly hopeless situations with emphatic disagreement. Empathy alone removes all possibility of help. Disagree when the counselee says, “It’s hopeless.” Say, “It is difficult, but not too difficult for God.”
6. Don’t become orientated toward people’s problems, but toward God’s solutions.
7. Gauge how much change is now feasible; too little is boring, too much is discouraging.
8. Don’t let people settle for less than the scriptural solution.
9. Use biblical, or biblically derived, language when analyzing and labeling problems, and when planning solutions to them.
10. Be command-oriented rather than feeling-oriented.
The main art in the matter of spiritual living is to know how to handle yourself. You have to take yourself in hand, you have to address yourself, preach to yourself, question yourself. You must say to your soul: 'Why art thou cast down-what business have you to be disquieted?' You must turn on yourself, upbraid yourself, condemn yourself, exhort yourself, and say to yourself: 'Hope thou in God' -instead of muttering in this depressed, unhappy way. And then you must go on to remind yourself of God, who God is, and what God is and what God has done, and what God has pledged Himself to do. Then having done that, end on this great note: defy yourself, and defy other people, and defy the devil and the whole world, and say with this man: 'I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance, who is also the health of my countenance and my God.'
In bowl, cream together cheese and mayonnaise, adding up to 1 tbsp. more
mayonnaise for spreading consistency. Stir in garlic, if using, and

necessary to completely cover each grape. Roll cheese-covered grapes
individually in almonds until coated. Place on flat platter or tray. Cover
