And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  Is it not plain that all spiritual apathy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7242]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of George Augustus Selwyn, first Bishop of New Zealand, 1878  Is it not plain that all spiritual apathy comes not from over-trust but from unbelief, either doubting that sin is present death, or else that holiness is life and that Jesus has a gift to bestow, not in heaven, but promptly, which is better to gain than all the world? Therefore salvation is linked with faith, which earns nothing but elicits all, like the touch that evokes electricity but which no man supposes to have made it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7242</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a little bit disheartening that here we have the biggest (first) prize in the (golf) world and half the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48285]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a little bit disheartening that here we have the biggest (first) prize in the (golf) world and half the guys don't turn up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48285</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16686]]></link><description><![CDATA[A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No check, no stay this streamlet fears: How merrily it goes!  'Twill murmur on a thousand years,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51859]]></link><description><![CDATA[No check, no stay this streamlet fears: How merrily it goes!  'Twill murmur on a thousand years,   And flow as now it flows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Hero is one who hangs on one minute longer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/399]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Hero is one who hangs on one minute longer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can think negative. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3447]]></link><description><![CDATA[I've always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can think negative.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where did you get that pearly ear? God spoke and it came out to hear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18986]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where did you get that pearly ear? God spoke and it came out to hear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you.
