For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Think you if Laura had been Petrarch's wife He would have written sonnets all his life? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Think you if Laura had been Petrarch's wife He would have written sonnets all his life?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Weave the warp, and weave the woof, The winding sheet of Edward's race;  Give ample room and verge enough ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19136]]></link><description><![CDATA[Weave the warp, and weave the woof, The winding sheet of Edward's race;  Give ample room and verge enough   The characters of Hell to trace.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44508]]></link><description><![CDATA[Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like our motto says, that's how we're going to approach it.

If he have not the true God to bless and sustain him, he will have some false god to delude and to betray him. The Psalmist knew this, and therefore he joined so closely forgetting the name of our God and holding up our hands to some strange god. For every man has something in which he hopes, on which he leans, to which he retreats and retires, with which he fills up his thoughts in empty spaces of time, when he is alone, when he lies sleepless on his bed, when he is not pressed with other thoughts; to which he betakes himself in sorrow or trouble, as that from which he shall draw comfort and strength -- his fortress, his citadel, his defence; and has not this a good right to be called his god? Man was made to lean on the Creator; but if not on Him, then he leans on the creature in one shape or another. The ivy cannot grow alone: it must twine round some support or other; if not the goodly oak, then the ragged thorn -- round any dead stick whatever, rather than have no stay or support at all. It is even so with the heart and affections of man; if they do not twine around God, they must twine around some meaner thing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played a solid 60 minutes and that's important for us right now.
