Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without.

Awe prepares the way in us for the power of God to transform us and this transformation of our inner attitudes can only take place when awe leads us in turn to wonder, admiration, reverence, surrender, and obedience toward God.  ...

We are personalities in the making, limited, and grappling with things too high for us. Obviously we, at very best, will make many mistakes, but these mistakes need not be sins. Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence. Our intentions may be very good, but, because the intelligence is limited, the action may turn out to be a mistake -- a mistake, but not necessarily a sin, for sin comes out of a wrong intention. And therefore the action carries a sense of incompleteness and frustration, but not of guilt. Victorious living does not mean perfect living in the sense of living without flaw, but it does mean adequate living, and that can be consistent with many mistakes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Moo-cow-moo's got a tail like a rope En it's ravelled down where it grows,  En it's just like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10527]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Moo-cow-moo's got a tail like a rope En it's ravelled down where it grows,  En it's just like feeling a piece of soap   All over the moo-cow's nose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything you add to the truth subtracts from the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22085]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything you add to the truth subtracts from the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22085</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-rangeperspective. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21669]]></link><description><![CDATA[The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-rangeperspective.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17030]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the awareness of unfulfilled desires which gives a nation the feeling that it has a mission and a destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17030</guid></item></channel></rss>
