God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Indeed, the existence of fellowship within the Trinity (John 17:23-24) makes it evident that the creation of mankind was not intended to meet some deficiency in God. God was not lonely, bored, or incomplete before he created humanity. God is perfect in Himself, happy in the fellowship and love that exist from all eternity between the Father, Son, and Spirit. Thus, rather than being an attempt to make up for a lack within the Trinity, God created mankind simply because he delights in sharing Himself as an expression of his overflowing self-sufficiency.
I am talking about wholesale changes in lifestyles where fear is cast to the wind and submission to God is not held back and the opinions of the world are irrelevant and the heart’s only consuming passion is to know Christ and be more like Him. As Paul said in 3:18, the veil has been lifted and we now have the, 3:17, “liberty” to want God and allow God to make us like Himself. To put all things, even our lives into His hand, and permit Him to take us where the road leads believing with all our hearts that when He cuts the ties to all the idols we cherish for support, affirmation and security, we will be thankful when we arrive through the journey at His particular destination.

Here is my newest favorite dessert recipe. This recipe was given to me at
my bridal shower 2 years ago. Recipe by Doris Abelson.
Cream butter and sugar, add eggs. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt,
and baking powder. Add dry ingredients alternately with sour cream and
vanilla. Into a greased bundt pan, pour half of batter. Smooth batter. Top
with a liberal amount of cinnamon, brown sugar, and 16 oz. of chocolate
chips. Add rest of batter on top. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes.
Original recipe called for a 9x13 greased pan--I substituted a bundt pan.
