They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This current administration cannot even bring home a soldier from Iraq and they talk about putting a man on the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47151]]></link><description><![CDATA[This current administration cannot even bring home a soldier from Iraq and they talk about putting a man on the moon.. didn't the Democrats whose candidates were elected in the last3 presidential elections do that?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22000]]></link><description><![CDATA[Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning. - Works and Days.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22000</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Graffiti is a pathetic attempt at anonymous recognition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Graffiti is a pathetic attempt at anonymous recognition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everyone has his superstitions.
