God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
He cleansed suffering! It was no longer a sign of our being caught in the wheel of existence, as Buddha suggests; no longer the result of our evil deeds of a previous birth, as our Hindu friends tell us; no longer the sign of the displeasure of God, as many of all ages and of all religions have suggested; no longer something to be stoically and doggedly borne. It is more than that. Suffering is the gift of God.

Cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well
after each addition. Add flour, lemon extract, and 7UP; mix well. Pour into
greased angel food (or bundt) pan. Bake 325F for 1 hour and 15 minutes or
until done. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.

“Many favors which God gives us ravel out for want of hemming through our unthankfulness; for though prayer purchases blessings, giving praise keeps the quiet possession of them. #Thomas Fuller”
