Any obedience is better than none. You have to seek His face; obedience is the only way of seeing Him. All your duties are obediences. To do what He bids is to obey Him, and to obey Him is to approach Him. Every act of obedience is an approach -- an approach to Him who is not far off, though He seems so, but close behind this visible screen of things hiding Him from us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who could tell such a story with dry eyes? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who could tell such a story with dry eyes?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is too short not to do a little practical joking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40250]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is too short not to do a little practical joking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1268]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only one who is wiser than anyone is everyone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552   Who is there that ever receives a gift ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, Missionary, 1552   Who is there that ever receives a gift and tries to make bargains about it?

Jesus is more than a religious genius, such as George Fox, and more than a holy man, such as the lovable Lana in Kipling's Kim. He himself knows that he is more. The Gospel story is a tree rooted in the familiar soil of time and sense; but its roots go down into the Abyss and its branches fill the Heavens; given to us in terms of a country in the Eastern Mediterranean no bigger than Wales, during the Roman Principate of Tiberius Caesar in the first century of our era, its range is universal; it is on the scale of eternity. God's presence and his very Self were made manifest in the words and works of this Man. In short, the Man Christ Jesus has the decisive place in man's ageless relationship with God. He is what God means by 'Man'. He is what man means by 'God'.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dove, On silver pinions, winged her peaceful way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12806]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Dove, On silver pinions, winged her peaceful way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12806</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human race is faced with a cruel choice: work or daytime television. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6119]]></link><description><![CDATA[The human race is faced with a cruel choice: work or daytime television.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6119</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15054]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now my soul hath elbow-room. -King John.
