We Love God!

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

Having become with us the Son of Man, He has made us with Himself sons of God. By His own descent to the earth He has prepared our ascent to heaven. Having received our mortality, He has bestowed on us His immortality. Having undertaken our weakness, He has made us strong in His strength. Having submitted to our poverty, He has transferred to us His riches. Having taken upon Himself the burden of unrighteousness with which we were oppressed, He has clothed us with His righteousness.
John Calvin

To be victorious in the Christian life, we must understand the emotional paradox between our trials and our joy. They are both real and they both exist in tension with each other. We must acknowledge our pain. We are permitted to grieve. But through it all, we are found rejoicing in God, knowing that He is in control, using the trial for our good. As Paul said in 2 Corinthians 6:10, “Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing.”

INSTRUCTIONS

ORANGE-CHIPOTLE SAUCE
*Plumped in 1/2 cup dry white wine.
Combine all ingredients for filling. Place 1 ounce of filling on a wonton
wrapper, brush the outside edge with water and place a second wrapper on
top pressing the edges together to seal completely. Place on a sheet of
waxed paper dusted with cornstarch and proceed to fill the rest. Preheat
oil to 360 degrees and deep fry the wontons for 3 to 4 minutes or until
golden brown and puffed. Serve immediately on warm plates with
Orange-Chipotle Sauce and cilantro sprigs.
Orange-Chipotle Sauce: In a saucepan over moderate heat reduce fresh juice
by half and cool. Place remaining ingredients except the oil in a blender.
Blend well and with motor running, slowly add the oil to form a smooth
sauce.
Yield: 40 wontons, serving 8 - 10 and approximately 3/4 cup sauce
Store covered and refrigerated for up to a week.
Recommended Wine: The sauce is pretty spicy so a Gewurztraminer or Riesling
with some residual sugar and good acid is the choice here.

NOTES : China meets California meets Mexico in this fun dish. The wontons
and sauce can be made ahead and frozen if desired. To freeze the wontons,
place uncovered in a single layer on a parchment or waxed paper lined
baking sheet and freeze until hard. Wontons can then be carefully placed in
sealed freezer bags. Defrost in refrigerator before using.
