"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[A generous heart repairs a slanderous tongue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56543]]></link><description><![CDATA[A generous heart repairs a slanderous tongue.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56543</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64643]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Given this is a swan song for Greenspan, I think it's going to be one more of these global topics. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32936]]></link><description><![CDATA[Given this is a swan song for Greenspan, I think it's going to be one more of these global topics.
