You comfort us in sorrow and bind up our wounds:  in sickness you nurse us,  and with pure milk you feed us. Jesus, by your dying we are born to new life:  by your anguish and labour we come forth in joy. Despair turns to hope through your sweet goodness:  through your gentleness we find comfort in fear. Your warmth gives life to the dead:  your touch makes sinners righteous. Lord Jesus, in your mercy heal us:  in your love and tenderness remake us. In your compassion bring grace and forgiveness:  for the beauty of heaven may your love prepare us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63781]]></link><description><![CDATA[The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel like I can contribute.

([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[And out of darkness came the hands that reach thro' nature, moulding men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11092]]></link><description><![CDATA[And out of darkness came the hands that reach thro' nature, moulding men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can say nothing but what hath been said . . .
