This depression comes over me whenever the Lord is preparing a larger blessing for my ministry; the cloud is black before it breaks, and overshadows before it yields its deluge of mercy. Depression has now become to me as a prophet in rough clothing, a John the Baptist, heralding the nearer coming of my Lord's richer benison. So have far better men found it. The scouring of the vessel has fitted it for the Master's use. Immersion in suffering has preceded the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Fasting gives an appetite for the banquet. The Lord is revealed in the backside of the desert, while his servant keepeth the sheep and waits in solitary awe. The wilderness is the way to Canaan. The low valley leads to the towering mountain. Defeat prepares for victory.

C.H. Spurgeon

INGREDIENTS

3	pk	(8 ounces each) fat-free cream cheese; (not whipped)
1/4	c	Sugar
1 1/2	ts	Vanilla extract
1/4	c	Liquid egg substitute
1/2	ts	Grated lemon zest
1 1/2	ts	Fresh lemon juice
		Nonstick butter-flavored cooking spray
1/3	c	Low-fat graham-cracker crumbs; (about 4 whole creackers)
		Mixed fresh berries; for garnish (optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. In large mixing bowl, using electric mixer, beat
together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until well blended. Add egg
substitute, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Beat just enough to blend, no
more.
2. Coat base and sides or 8-inch springform pan or 9-inch pie plate with
cooking spray. Add graham cracker crumbs and shake pan so crumbs cling to
bottom and sides. Shake excess crumbs into small bowl. Pour cream cheese
mixture into prepared pan. Dust top lightly with some of the remaining
crumbs.
3. Bake 45 minutes or until center is almost set. (If done in pie plate,
cake will rise and fall, with some cracking around outside edge--this is
fine.) Transfer pan or plate to wire rack. Cool. Refrigerate at least 3
hours before serving. Garnish with mixed berries, of desired.
