It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We live for this moment.

Only he who lives by the forgiveness of his sin in Jesus Christ will rightly think little of himself. He will know that his own wisdom reached the end of its tether when Jesus forgave him. He will know that it is good for his own will to be broken in the encounter with his neighbor...   But not only my neighbor's will, but also his honor is more important than mine. The desire for one's own honor hinders faith. One who seeks his own honor is no longer seeking God and his neighbor. What does it matter if I suffer injustice? Would I not have deserved even worse punishment from God, if He had not dealt with me according to His mercy?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not know the method of drawing up an indictment against an whole people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24249]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not know the method of drawing up an indictment against an whole people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32660]]></link><description><![CDATA[O conscience, upright and stainless, how bitter a sting to thee is a little fault!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason, some come to learn and others come to teach. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1487]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason, some come to learn and others come to teach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have storm recovery teams ... leaving in the next day or so.
