Name: Grilled Japanese Eggplant with Chili-Garlic Goat Cheese
Ingredients: 8 Japanese eggplants; Olive oil; Salt and pepper; 1/2 lb Fresh mild goat cheese like chevre; 2 ts Minced garlic; 1 ts Red pepper flakes; 6 Basil leaves; shredded

Suffering is generally portrayed in the Bible as the necessary and God-ordained, though not God-pleasing, plight of this fallen world (Romans 8:20-25, Ezekiel 18:32), and especially the necessary portion of all who would enter the kingdom (Acts 14:22; 1 Thessalonians 3:3-4) and live lives of godliness (2 Timothy 3:12). This suffering is never viewed merely as a tragedy. It is also viewed as a means of growing deep with God and becoming strong in this life (Romans 5:3-5; James 1:3-4; Hebrews 12:3-11; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 4:7-12; 12:7-10) and becoming something glorious in the life to come (2 Corinthians 4:17; Romans 8:18).
