Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are those who in their very first seeking of it are nearer the kingdom of Heaven than many who ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8200]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are those who in their very first seeking of it are nearer the kingdom of Heaven than many who have for years believed themselves to be of it.

Not necessarily that he must feel affection for them -- that is not always possible in this life, though it will be in heaven -- but that he must treat them as love dictates, doing always for others what he would that they should do for him.  ... A. C. McGiffert, A History of Christian Thought  August 21, 2000   At the very moment when the pulpit has fallen strangely silent about sin, fiction can talk of little except evil, not indeed viewed as sin, but apparently as the invariable ways of a peculiarly repulsive insect, which it can't help, poor thing; and there is no manner of use expecting anything from it, except the nastiness natural to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. •John ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54014]]></link><description><![CDATA[When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world. •John Muir   Absence of occupation is not rest; A mind quite vacant is a mind distressed. •William Cowper   No rest is worth anything except the rest that is earned. •Jean Paul   Sundays, quiet islands on the tossing seas of life. •S.
