A very ordinary thing acquires a new value, if it has been possessed by some famous person. In any museum we will find quite ordinary things--clothes, a walking-stick, a pen, pieces of furniture--which are only of value because they were possessed and used by some great person. It is the ownership which gives them worth. It is so with the Christian. The Christian may be a very ordinary person, but he acquires a new value and dignity and greatness because he belongs to God. The greatness of the Christian lies in the fact that he is God's.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With whom there is no place of toil, no burning heat, no piercing cold, nor any briars there . . ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17094]]></link><description><![CDATA[With whom there is no place of toil, no burning heat, no piercing cold, nor any briars there . . . this place we call the Bosom of Abraham.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take, O, take those lips away, That so sweetly were forsworn; And those eyes, the break of day, Lights that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55397]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take, O, take those lips away, That so sweetly were forsworn; And those eyes, the break of day, Lights that do mislead the morn: But my kisses bring again, bring again; Seals of love, but sealed in vain, sealed in vain. -Measure for Measure.

Such effort is likely to be arduous and painful in proportion to the height of the ideal, desperate in proportion to the sensitiveness of the conscience. A morbid scrupulousness besets the morally serious soul. It is anxious and troubled, afraid of evil, haunted by the memory of failure. The best of the Pharisees tended in this direction, and no less the best of the Stoics. And so little has Christianity been understood that the popular idea of a serious Christian is modeled upon the same type of character.

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></channel></rss>
