God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
There is unquestionably a great mystery here as to how a holy God who cannot even look upon evil (Hab. 1:13) can work His will through evil, but that He does is the clear teaching of Scripture. If something could get outside the will of God, it would become a god unto itself and a rival to God. Such can never be the case. God alone is God; there is no other.
Excellence is, in fact, a relationship. There is only One is truly and perfectly excellent. He alone is the sum and definition of what excellence is and does. So the one who is excellence, in His grace, came to you when you were in a state of anything but excellence, and by grace offered you the promise of actually becoming a partaker of His divine nature. He then connects you to purposes and goals way higher, way grander and more glorious than you would every have sought for yourself... Your hope of ever being excellent in His eyes and doing what is excellent in His sight is found in your relationship to Him and in His grace that not only forgives and accepts but radically transforms. And He calls and empowers you to display His excellency and the excellency of His grace. It is only this excellency that has the power to free us from the false excellency of human pride and the mediocrity that results when we are okay with ourselves and our world just the way they are.
~------------------------CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM---------------------------
Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a jelly roll pan, 15 1/2 X 10 1/2 X 1
inch with aluminum foil or waxed paper, grease generously. Beat the eggs in
a small mixer bowl, on high speed, until thick and lemon colored, about 5
minutes; pour into a larger mixer bowl. Gradually beat in the sugar. Beat
in the water and 1 tsp of liqueur on low speed. Gradually add the flour,
1/4 cup of cocoa, the baking powder and salt, beating just until the batter
is smooth. Pour into the jelly roll pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted
in the center comes out clean, about 12 to 15 minutes. Immediately loosen
cake from the edges of the pan; invert on a towel sprinkled generously with
cocoa. Carefully remove the foil. Trim off the stiff edges of cake if
necessary. While hot, carefully roll the cake and towel up, together, from
the narrow end. Cool on a wire rack at least 30 minutes. Unroll the cake;
remove the towel. Sprinkle 2 tb of the liqueur over the cake spread with
Cinnamon Whipped Cream; roll up. Sprinkle with cocoa, if desired and
refrigerate until serving time. CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM: Beat all of the
ingredients in a chilled bowl until stiff.
