And so they found the truth. Gradually the results of the action manifested themselves, and, seeing them, they perceived what they had really done, and learnt the meaning of the truth revealed in the action. But if, from fear of the consequences, they had checked or forbidden the action, they would have lost this revelation.

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[The miller sees not all the water that goes by his mill. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61288]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miller sees not all the water that goes by his mill.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth is perilous never to the true, Nor knowledge to the wise; and to the fool,  And to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14149]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth is perilous never to the true, Nor knowledge to the wise; and to the fool,  And to the false, error and truth alike,   Error is worse than ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ease and speed in doing a thing do not give the work lasting solidity or exactness of beauty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62141]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ease and speed in doing a thing do not give the work lasting solidity or exactness of beauty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62141</guid></item></channel></rss>
