It is only when we see things in the light of God that we see what things are really important, and what things are not. These things seem vastly important, things like ambition, and prestige, and money and gain, lose all their value and importance when they are seen in the light of God. Pleasures and habits and social customs which seem permissible enough, are seen for the dangerous things they are when they are seen in the light of God. Things which seem evils, hardship, toil, discipline, unpopularity, even persecution, are seen in their glory when they are seen in the light of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He has changed He has grownNo longer bud but Love Fullblown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4209]]></link><description><![CDATA[He has changed He has grownNo longer bud but Love Fullblown.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4209</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13965]]></link><description><![CDATA[None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aim for the stars and you'll make it to the moon.

It finds men's worthwhileness deep laid in relationship to God's worthwhileness, and this devotion is expressed in communication. It finds this world precious insofar as it... symbolizes God's love and therefore it runs counter to our national sin of distrust in God.
