Certainly Jeremiah was no integrated personality. It is doubtful if... he ever knew the meaning of the word "peace". We have no evidence that his internal struggle was ever ended, although the passing years no doubt brought an increasing acceptance of destiny. Jeremiah, if his "confessions" are any index, needed a course in pastoral psychiatry in the very worst way... The feeling cannot be escaped that if Jeremiah had been integrated, it would have been at the cost of ceasing to be Jeremiah! A man at peace simply could not be a Jeremiah. Spiritual health is good; mental assurance is good; but the summons of faith is neither to an integrated personality nor to the laying-by of all questions, but to the dedication of personality -- with all its fears and questions -- to its duty and destiny under God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66592]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is an unutterable sigh, planted in the depths of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Often the search proves more profitable than the goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17626]]></link><description><![CDATA[Often the search proves more profitable than the goal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13772]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is nothing better than the encouragement of a good friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13772</guid></item></channel></rss>
