Hardly anyone experiences the crush of real guilt! We have failed to see that what usually passes for guilt is in fact just more sin, because it is the bad feeling we have, not from our failure to trust God’s promises but from our failure to preserve our image as cool, self-sufficient people. Most of what passes for guilt feelings is an expression of pride. We do something impulsive that hurts someone and feel remorse. But does our remorse come from a deep spiritual grief that we have despised God by not trusting His promises and not waiting for His wisdom and help? Or does it more often come from the fact that we did not preserve our image as cool and self-sufficient? Real guilt is very rare!

INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe calls for tamarind paste, a sweet-and-sour flavoring made from
the beanlike tamarind fruit.  If you can't find tamarind paste, add 1/2 cup
honey and 1/2 cup vinegar to dates during cooking.
Place dates in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Cook until soft and
tender, about 25 minutes.  Or cook dates for 15 minutes in a pressure
cooker.  Set cooked dates aside to cool.
Puree dates in small batches in a food processor or blender, adding a
little water as needed to make a smooth paste.
Melt tamarind and spices to pureed dates.  Stir well. Add more water as
needed to make a thick sauce.
