But how to give Him a present to express our love is a bit of a problem. How can you give God anything when He owns everything? But does He? How about that power to choose, that precious free will that He has given to every living personality and which He so greatly respects? That is the only present we can give -- our selves, with all our powers of spirit, mind, and body, willingly, freely given because we love Him. That is the best and highest worship that you and I can offer, and I am sure that it is this above all that God most highly appreciates.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man constantly aspires is he not elevated? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63582]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man constantly aspires is he not elevated?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just had to tell the stories of these amazing volunteers, who left their families and jobs in some case ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41003]]></link><description><![CDATA[We just had to tell the stories of these amazing volunteers, who left their families and jobs in some case to work around the clock at the most dangerous disaster site in historyGround Zero.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Light is the first of painters.

Of course, they go beyond the storybook emperor's tailors, who dressed their victim in nothing and called it fine garments.
