We praise what we enjoy because the delight is incomplete until it is expressed in praise. If we were not allowed to speak of what we value, and celebrate what we love, and praise what we admire, our joy would not be full. So if God loves us enough to make our joy full, He must not only give us Himself; He must also win from us the praise of our hearts – not because He needs to store up some weakness in Himself or compensate for some deficiency, but because He loves us and seeks the fullness of our joy that can be found only in knowing and praising Him, the most magnificent of all Beings.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Line a 15 x 10-inch jelly roll pan with
aluminum foil, allowing foil to extend beyond ends of pan. Coat foil with
nonstick cooking spray; dust with 1 tablespoon flour and set aside. Combine
3/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking
soda and salt in a bowl; stir well. Make a well in the center of the
mixture. Combine water, oil and vanilla; add to dry ingredients, stirring
until blended.  Set aside. Beat egg whites in a large bowl until foamy. Add
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until
stiff peaks form.  Fold 1/3 of egg white mixture into chocolate mixture.
Carefully fold in remaining egg whites and 1/4 cup flour. Spoon batter into
prepared pan, spreading evenly to the sides of the pan. Bake for 25
minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool
in pan for 30 minutes. Invert pan onto a baking sheet; remove pan, and
carefully peel foil away from cake. Cut cake into 28 hearts, using a 2
1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter; discard remaining cake. Sprinkle
hearts with powdered sugar; set aside. Combine sliced strawberries and
remaining 2 teaspoons sugar in a small bowl; toss well. Spoon about 1
tablespoon Chocolate-Orange Sauce onto a dessert plate; top with a
chocolate cake heart, 2 tablespoons sliced strawberries, and another cake
heart.  Repeat procedure with remaining ingredients. (152 calories, 3. 9g
