Faith says not, "I see that it is good for me, so God must have sent it," but, "God sent it, and so it must be good for me." Faith, walking in the dark with God, only prays Him to clasp its hand more closely.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7568</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a team, we saw January as a new slate.
