We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The remedy is to turn back to the cross. Our Lord proved to us the redemptive power of suffering for His sake. But we have to choose it. We are constantly tempted to withdraw into self-protection and anger and defensiveness. But looking to the Lord moment by moment, we can embrace the cross with its pain and see Him use us to communicate more grace to people who aren’t even asking for it. We didn’t ask, and He suffered for us anyway. That kind of love was the only power that could get through to us. And it did.

INSTRUCTIONS

"Luscious and spicy, serve this simple Burmese curry with steamed  rice
and stir-fried vegetables to make a complete meal."  Preheat the oven
to 400 degrees F.  In a large, nonstick skillet, heat the peanut oil
over moderate heat.  Add the chicken in batches and brown on all sides.
Remove with a  slotted spoon and place in a baking dish large enough to
accommodate  the chicken and the coconut milk in one layer.  Using the
same skillet and the oil and chicken fat remaining in it,  cook the
onions, garlic, jalapeno peppers, caraway, and cinnamon over  high heat
for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat  and add to
the chicken. Pour the coconut milk into the hot skillet  and stir,
scraping the bottom to remove any browned particles. Add to  the onions
and chicken and mix well.  Bake, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours. Remove
from the oven, add the  basil, and mix gently. Season with salt and
pepper, and serve  immediately.  Source: "Basil" by Janet Hazen Posted
