Are we prepared to live by our own standards? If the way you internally judge others was measured back to you externally by others, you would be totally crushed and exasperated! And if the severity of judgment from others is a painful thought, consider the severity of God’s judgment applying to you the same standard you apply to others. The parallel verse of Matthew 7:1 in Luke says, “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned” (Lk. 6:36-37). In James 2:13 we read, “For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy.” On the contrary, the Fifth Beatitude states, “Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy” (Mt. 5:7).

INGREDIENTS

1	c	Walnuts, ground or finely chopped
2	c	Grated "German's sweet" or bittersweet chocolate
1 1/2	c	Sifted confectioner's sugar
4	tb	Rum
		Cocoa powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine nuts, sugar, and chocolate. Moisten with rum to form a stiff dough.
Form into small balls and roll in cocoa to coat.
This recipe is not only simple, it's flexible. It can be made with other
kinds of liquor (amaretto, sherry, and Southern Comfort work well), nuts
(almonds or pecans, for instance) and coatings (ground nuts, finely grated
coconut, etc.) and always comes out tasting great. Adding small chunks of
nut for texture is also effective. These usually disappear in a hurry.
This is a recipe for rum balls that I got from Monica Fischler in
Guayaquil, Ecuador in 1974. It's very simple, requires no cooking, and is
almost impossible to foul up.
