This is what sin is all about. Sin is all about promising us satisfaction, but it never keeps its promises. It can’t, because we weren’t made to satisfy ourselves. No, all sin does is blind us to the truth… We were made to find our satisfaction in a loving relationship with God, but sin convinces us to spend our lives in a self-loving relationship with ourselves. The tragedy is that in the end it doesn’t even work. Sin leaves us bitter, empty, and filled with regret. Worst of all, it leaves us outside the love of God, the one thing that could have satisfied us. It leaves us exposed to His righteous anger that was provoked by our decision to love anything and everything except Him, the one and only who was worthy of our love.

WALDINE VAN GEFFEN VGHC42A
Combine whipping cream and 3 c broth in a large pan. Bring to a boil;
gradually stir in grits. Cover over medium heat until mixture returns to a
boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring
frequently. Gradually add milk, if necessary, for desired consistency.
Remove and discard the stems and any discolored spots from greens. Wash
greens thoroughly, drain and cut into 1/2" strips. Combine greens and
remaining 1 c broth in a large skillet; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat
and simmer 5 minutes or until greens are tender. Drain and plunge into ice
