In that sense God is not omnipotent: He is limited by His own nature, by His perfect goodness and mercy; for the omnipotence of God means nothing apart from His Fatherly love. In particular, this limitation of the power of God is to be found in the measure of freedom which, as His children, we enjoy. God shares His power with us so that, for a time at least, if we so determine, we can break His laws and frustrate His plans, but also so that we can give to Him, if we choose, the free allegiance of our hearts and minds, and become children at His Family Table, drawn together by the compulsion of His love, and not the exercise of His might.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When they went to the state, and came back as a state champion, then we were all sisters and brothers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29026]]></link><description><![CDATA[When they went to the state, and came back as a state champion, then we were all sisters and brothers there really.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A building has integrity just like a man.
