([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking is more stinking than drinking, but to feel isfor real. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21841]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thinking is more stinking than drinking, but to feel isfor real.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have scorched the snake, not killed it. She'll close and be herself, whilst our poor malice  Remains in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14933]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have scorched the snake, not killed it. She'll close and be herself, whilst our poor malice  Remains in danger of her former tooth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That has considered the decline in cigarette consumption and production. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29372]]></link><description><![CDATA[That has considered the decline in cigarette consumption and production.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had a face like a benediction (blessing). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14856]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had a face like a benediction (blessing).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It requires a great deal of faith for a man to be cured by his own placebos. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26740]]></link><description><![CDATA[It requires a great deal of faith for a man to be cured by his own placebos.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Famous remarks are very seldom quoted correctly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27972]]></link><description><![CDATA[Famous remarks are very seldom quoted correctly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't expect to deliver a baby in the parking lot.

This is particularly true when the opportunities for self-advancement are relatively meager, and one's individual interests and prospects do not seem worth living for. Such persons sooner or later turn their backs on an individual existence and strive to acquire a sense of worth and a purpose by an identification with a holy cause, a leader, or a movement. The faith and pride they derive from such an identification serve them as substitutes for the unattainable self-confidence and self-respect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a new system, but it is a lot like the system he ran with the Rams in the past. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30518]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a new system, but it is a lot like the system he ran with the Rams in the past.
