Name: Easy Strawberry Layered Cheesecake
Ingredients: 2 pk (8oz) cream cheese; softened; 1/2 c Sugar; 1/2 ts Vanilla; 2 Eggs; 1/4 c Strawberry preserves; 5 dr Red food coloring; 1 Graham cracker crust

God delights to give His children “every good…and every perfect gift” (Jas. 1:17), but if the physical blessings we desire were always and immediately given at our request, God would become nothing more than a big slot machine in the sky, and our prayers would become meaningless tokens mechanically fed into an apparatus as a means to achieve our whims with which we have no relationship. God would receive no glory, and we would pray our souls into a black hole. Whether God answers our prayers with a “no” or “not yet” or “yes,” His goal is to draw us closer to Himself in a relationship so that we might view Him as our ultimate reward.
