God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Christ was despised on earth by men, and in his greatest need, amid insults, was abandoned by those who knew him and by friends; and you dare to complain of anyone? Christ had his adversaries and slanderers; and you wish to have everyone as friends and benefactors? Whence will your patience win its crown if it has encountered nothing of adversity?
If God is in fact our Enemy with only destructive intentions toward us, why do we experience any good at all? It isn’t surprising that life is painful. What’s surprising is that life is joyful. What do our simple, daily joys mean? Is God pretending to be our Friend, is He setting us up for the ultimate nasty surprise? Or is God sending us signals every day that His heart is loving and kind, so kind that we can go back to Him in repentance and find His arms open to us?

I love smoothies and have been drinking them regularly after my workouts,
but this morning I made one for breakfast that was great! I have a really
hard time eating in the morning unless I've been up for awhile. I've been
facing the dilemma of *knowing* I need to eat something before I walk to
work and yet being unable to face any food at that time. I can drink
things, though, so I decided to put my breakfast cereal in the blender, and
it worked.
I put everything in the blender. Blend until smooth.
