As we boiled, squeezed, and pounded the ingredients for pisu, I couldn't help but think about all of the ways God shapes us knowing that we will finally be something sweet and pleasing to Him.
"Designed for good deeds. It's as simple as that. It was God's idea. He did the designing. He expects us to work, just as the designer of a precision instrument, if he understands the principles involved and designs it accordingly, expects the thing to work. It is no great credit to the instrument if it does." Elisabeth Elliot
"It is by His grace you are saved, through trusting Him; it is not your own doing It is God's gift, not a reward for work done. There is nothing for anyone to boast of. For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to devote ourselves to the good deeds for which God has designed us." Ephsians 2:8-10 NEB
