"Ye shall search for me with all your heart." He makes a direct call to us for single-mindedness: a single-minded longing for Him -- no lesser aim will do; no desire to be good, no striving to measure up to some standard we have set for ourselves, to correct some failure we have been shown in our way of life. These may be temporarily necessary, but they will turn to dust and ashes, they will end in a grim dryness, unless at the back of them all is what He asks of us --a never-ending search for a real knowledge of Him, for a sense of His reality, a confidence in His companionship, a joy and delight in the very person of God Himself. It is for this that we must learn to long and long, till our prayers for it become not just a form of words, but a stretching out of our whole being to Him.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    November 27, 1999  When God finished man He breathed into the human form the divine life, "and man became a living soul." Man is created to be a witness and likeness of God. God and man are so near to one another that it was possible for the Eternal Word to become Man without ceasing to be God, to re-ascend to the Highest without dehumanizing the Manhood which He had assumed; so near that the believer may say in the fullest meaning of the words, "I live, yet not I, but Christ".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All gold and silver rather turn to dirt, An 'tis no better reckoned but of these  Who worship dirty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61423]]></link><description><![CDATA[All gold and silver rather turn to dirt, An 'tis no better reckoned but of these  Who worship dirty gods.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For blocks are better cleft with wedges, Tan tools of sharp or subtle edges,  And dullest nonsense has been ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44607]]></link><description><![CDATA[For blocks are better cleft with wedges, Tan tools of sharp or subtle edges,  And dullest nonsense has been found   By some to be the most profound.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A satisfying prayer life elevates and purifies every act of body and mind and integrates the entire personality into a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6916]]></link><description><![CDATA[A satisfying prayer life elevates and purifies every act of body and mind and integrates the entire personality into a single spiritual unit.

It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item></channel></rss>
