We Love God!

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

The “size” of a sin is not ultimately determined by the sin itself, but by the one who was sinned against. Sin is infinitely wicked because it rejects the one who is infinitely holy and good. The more we recognized the perfection of God's holiness, the more obvious this truth becomes.
Dave Harvey

God’s love is active. He decided to love you when He could have justly condemned you. He’s involved. He’s merciful, not simply tolerant. He hates sin, yet pursues sinners by name. God is so committed to forgiving and changing you that He sent Jesus to die for you. He welcomes the poor in spirit with a shout and a feast. God is vastly patient and relentlessly persevering as He intrudes into your life. God’s love actively does you good. His love is full of blood, sweat, tears, and cries. He suffered for you. He fights for you, defending the afflicted. He fights with you pursuing you in powerful tenderness so that He can change you. He’s jealous, not detached. His sort of empathy and sympathy speaks out, with words of truth to set you free from sin and misery. He will discipline you as proof that He loves you. God Himself comes to live in you, pouring out His Holy Spirit in your heart, so that you will know Him. He puts out power and energy. God’s love has hate in it too: hatred for evil, whether done to you or by you. God’s love demands that you respond to it: by believing, trusting, obeying, giving thanks with a joyful heart, working out your salvation with fear, delighting in the Lord.

INGREDIENTS

1 cn (4-ounce) slivered, blanched almonds (1 cup)
1 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Margarine or butter (1 stick)
3/4 c Plus
2 tb Confectioners' sugar
1 pk (8-oz) cream cheese, softened
2 c Heavy or whipping cream
1 ts Vanilla extract
2 pk Butterscotch-flavour sugar-free instant pudding and pie filling for 4 servings (I think I usually use regular)
3 c Milk

INSTRUCTIONS

With sharp knife, finely chop 2/3 cup slivered almonds and coarsely chop
remaining 1/3 cup almonds.  Preheat oven to 350.  In medium bowl, with
fingers, mix flour, margarine or butter, finely chopped almonds and 1/4 cup
confectioners' sugar until crumbly.  With fingers, press mixture firmly
into ungreased 13x9 baking dish.  Bake crust 15 to 20 minutes until golden
brown.  Cool crust in dish on wire rack.
While crust is cooling, in small bowl with spoon beat cream cheese and 1/2
cup confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy.(I usually do this with a
mixer)
In small bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat heavy or whipping cream and
vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.  With rubber spatula or wire whisk,
fold 1 cup whipped cream into cream-cheese mixture; spread over crust.
Reserve remaining whipped cream.
In large bowl, with wire whisk, prepare pudding mixes as labels direct, but
prepare both packages together and use only 3 cups milk.  Spread pudding
over cream-cheese layer.
Fold remaining 2 TB confectioners' sugar into reserved whipped cream;
spread over pudding.  Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan, over medium heat, cook remaining 1/3 cup
coarsely chopped almonds until golden, stirring frequently; cool. (I don't
usually do this) Serves 15.
Another note:  sometimes I just use a regular graham cracker crust.  And
sprinkle a little reserved crust on top.
