God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Our parents (Adam and Eve) fell for it, and in them we have all fallen for it. It is now part of our nature. We take the mirror of God's image which was intended to reflect His glory in the world, turn our backs to the light, and fall in love with the contours of our own dark shadow, trying desperately to convince ourselves (with technological advances, or management skills or athletic prowess or academic achievements or sexual exploits or counter cultural hair styles) that the dark shadow of the image on the ground in front of us is really glorious and satisfying. In our proud love affair with ourselves we pour contempt, whether we know it or not, on the worth of God's glory.
When Jesus commands us to be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect (Matt. 5:48), this simply shows that God’s own absolute moral purity is the standard toward which we are to aim and the standard for which God holds us accountable. The fact that we are unable to attain that standard does not mean that it will be lowered; rather, it means that we need God’s grace and forgiveness to overcome our remaining sin. Similarly, when Paul commands the Corinthians to make holiness perfect in the fear of the Lord (2 Cor. 7:1), or prays that God would sanctify the Thessalonians wholly (1 Thess. 5:23), he is pointing to the goal that he desires them to reach. He does not imply that any reach it, but only that this is the high moral standard toward which God wants all believers to aspire.

INSTRUCTIONS
To clean the artichokes, cut off the stems flush with the base, remove any
tough, unsightly outer leaves and cut off the top one-third of the flower
bud itself. Force the leaves open a little, and rinse under cold water,
with a squeeze of lemon or a splash of vinegar to prevent discoloring.
Place the artichokes upside-down in a pot large enough to hold them all in
one layer and pour in boiling water to come one-fourth of the way up the
sides. Salt and simmer 15-40 minutes, depending on their age and size -
until the heart is just tender when pricked with a fork. Drain and refresh
them under cold water; drain again and chill.
Beat the tarama or smoked cod's roe with the grated onion. You can do this
easily in a food processor. Finely grate the zest of one lemon and beat in,
with 2 teaspoons boiling water.
Squeeze the juice of both lemons. Alternately dribble in lemon juice and
olive oil, beating each addition in before adding the next, as though
making mayonnaise - it may not need all the oil. If you are doing this by
hand, it take perseverence and elbow grease to make it nice and light.
Taste and season with pepper. Open the artichokes and remove the inner,
soft leaves and then the hairy choke. Spoon tarama into the cup of leaves.
