If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I often wonder, if those that smile the most, are the most saddest people in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65697]]></link><description><![CDATA[I often wonder, if those that smile the most, are the most saddest people in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've gotten to know them on a personal level, and I don't have to teach as much.

Has it transported him for a moment into a spiritual ecstasy that vanishes when everyday life returns, or has it lodged the Word of God so securely and deeply in his heart that it holds and fortifies him, impelling him to active love, to obedience, to good works?
