What Sin Does to You... And How God Rescues You

        By Liza Grace

        I have tasted and vividly experienced the effects of SIN in my life. I have LIED, when God is truth. I have SINNED in the DARK when God is Light. I have made God my CRUTCH when He is the King of Kings and the Anointed One. I have DISREGARDED His promises when He is Faithful and true. I’ve ACCUSED Him of forsaking me when He is Emmanuel. I have thought Him TOO SMALL for my problems when He is the Savior of the World.

I am the chief of sinners…

       …and He abundantly forgives. 

 SIN…

 

…Makes me a FOOL

so I have the Wonderful Counselor

…Renders me UNCLEAN

so I have the Most Holy One

…Abandons me BROKEN

so I have the Healer

           

…Sends me into CHAOS

so I have the Prince of Peace

…Reduces me to EMPTINESS

so I have the Bread of Life

…Leaves me WEAK

so I have God Almighty

...Lures me into DESTRUCTION

so I have the Deliverer

…Directs me down the path of DEATH

so I have the Way, Truth, and the Life

…Alienates me as an ORPHAN

so I have Everlasting Father

…Yearns to desert me in utter DARKNESS

so I have the Light of the World

…Leaves me in need of a SUBSTITUTE SACRIFICE

so I have the Lamb of God

…Causes me to STRAY

so I have the Good Shepherd

…Makes me LOST

so I have the Way

…Distances me from COMMUNICATION with God

so I have the Great High Priest

…Leaves me CRUMBLING

so I have the Chief Cornerstone

By Liza Grace

Okay y’all, I’m pretty sure I found the most awesomest recipe in uh…the UNIVERSE. I guess that gives away the fact that it has Nutella in it. (Because obviously only the BESTEST things in life have Nutella involved) It is DELICIOUS and it involves (as I just said) Nutella and peanut butter.

Here is my new FAVORITE cookie recipe!!!

Peanut Butter & Nutella Cookies

Ingredients

·          1 cup butter (2 sticks) room temperature

·          ⅔ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy - I like crunchy)

·          1 cup sugar

·          1 cup brown sugar

·          2 eggs

·          2 tsp vanilla

·          2⅔ cup flour

·          2 tsp baking soda

·          1 tsp salt

·          heaping ⅓ cup Nutella

Instructions

1.  Cream butter, peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla together until smooth.

2. Combine flour, baking soda and salt and add to butter mixture.

3. Add Nutella in dollops over the top of the dough.

4. Use a butter knife to swirl the Nutella through the dough.  Do not over mix.

5. Chill the dough in fridge for 15 minutes before spooning onto cookie sheet to firm the Nutella.

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.  Bake until slightly brown at edges.

7. Let cool a few minutes on cookie sheet before transferring.
