([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16306]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever life throws at us, we'll be able to handle it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34452]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever life throws at us, we'll be able to handle it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's destiny is alwayes dark. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49057]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's destiny is alwayes dark.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This shows you that people actually can see that he's not just a number --that he was a man with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39479]]></link><description><![CDATA[This shows you that people actually can see that he's not just a number --that he was a man with a family that needs comforting.
