Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, that He may purify them; tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you conquer them; talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them: show Him the wounds of your heart, that He may heal them; lay bare your indifference to good, your depraved tastes for evil, your instability. Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others.  If you thus pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other never want for subjects of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back; neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of the heart, without consideration they say just what they think. Blessed are they who attain to such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nor am I ashamed, as some are, to confess my ignorance of those matters with which I am unacquainted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nor am I ashamed, as some are, to confess my ignorance of those matters with which I am unacquainted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48856</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That headlong ivy! not a leaf will grow But thinking of a wreath, . . .  I like such ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23105]]></link><description><![CDATA[That headlong ivy! not a leaf will grow But thinking of a wreath, . . .  I like such ivy; bold to leap a height   'Twas strong to climb! as good to grow on graves    As twist about a thyrsus; pretty too     (And that's not ill) when twisted round a comb.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Guard against the prestige of great names; see that your judgments are your own; and do not shrink from disagreement; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1934]]></link><description><![CDATA[Guard against the prestige of great names; see that your judgments are your own; and do not shrink from disagreement; no trusting without testing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all depend on Sophie to shoot the ball and score.

What, we are really asking, is the purpose of suffering? It seems purposeless.

No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ...
