The Gospel is full of divine attempts to help and heal, in the body, mind and heart, individual men. The completed beauty of Christ's life is only the added beauty of little inconspicuous acts of beauty -- talking with the woman at the well; going far up into the North country to talk with the Syrophenician woman; showing the young ruler the stealthy ambition laid away in his heart, that kept him out of the kingdom of Heaven; shedding a tear at the grave of Lazarus; teaching a little knot of followers how to pray; preaching the Gospel one Sunday afternoon to two disciples going out to Emmaus; kindling a fire and broiling fish, that His disciples might have a breakfast waiting for them when they came ashore after a night of fishing, cold, tired, discouraged. All of these things, you see, let us in so easily into the real quality and tone of God's interests, so specific, so narrowed down, so enlisted in what is small, so engrossed in what is minute.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day;Rage, rage against the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21232]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day;Rage, rage against the dying of the light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jonathan Edwards - he has his faith, his health, his wife and his children, but more importantly, he has his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jonathan Edwards - he has his faith, his health, his wife and his children, but more importantly, he has his Olympic gold medal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all have ability.

And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved.
