He is both Father and Son bound together in one Spirit. We are created to be brothers under God, the Father.

The human family is only an analogy both for our thought about God and about society; but no Christian thought gets very far away from it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7048</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many ordinary treasures may be denied the man who has God, or if he is allowed to have them, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7105]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many ordinary treasures may be denied the man who has God, or if he is allowed to have them, the enjoyment of them will be so tempered that they will never be necessary to his happiness.

The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice.
