God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
I think the common belief that in order to serve someone in love means that we need to give up our concern for ourselves is totally false. Rather I believe we honor people the most when we can pursue our happiness in serving them. For example, when I visit people in the hospital they either say, “Thank you” or “You didn’t have to come, Pastor.” What’s the most loving response on my part? “It’s my duty?” 'Just doing my job?” Of course not! What if I say, “I’ve been looking forward to being with you all day, and right now there is no other place I’d rather be.” Would the person respond, “There you go again, only thinking about yourself!” No, they would take my pursuing of joy in them as the highest form of love!
It only stands to reason among those who are truly saved that they will spend the duration of their existence with the desire to grow in their knowledge of Jesus Christ. This is a clear indication that we not only love our Savior, but find Him so magnificent that we wish to continually explore new elements of His perfections. Expanding our relationship with Him through biblical awareness and personal experience is at the heart of knowing Christ, is at the heart of a genuine relationship with Him.

In a mixing bowl, beat butter on medium speed 30 seconds or till softened.
Add 1 cup of the flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder and vanilla. Beat till
combined. Stir in remaining flour and nuts. Divide dough in half. (Can be
done in processor).
Shape each portion into a 9-inch log (should be about 2 inches wide.) Place
about 4 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet. For a shinier
appearance, stir together egg yolk and milk/water; brush onto logs. Bake in
375F oven for 25 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 1 hour.
Cut each log diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Lay slices, cut side down, on
an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in 325F oven for 8 minutes. Turn slices
over; bake 8-10 minutes more or until dry and crisp. Cool on wire rack.
In a double boiler, heat chocolate pieces with shortening over low heat
