That altered relationship with God gives you an altered relationship with yourself, with your brother man, with nature, with the universe. You are no longer working against the grain of the universe; you're working with it... You have been forgiven by God and now you can forgive yourself. All self hate, self-despising, self-rejection, drop away, and you accept yourself in God, respect yourself, and love yourself... You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8170</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the little bits of things that fret and worry us; we can dodge an elephant, but we can't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59701]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the little bits of things that fret and worry us; we can dodge an elephant, but we can't dodge a fly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.

You will not stroll into Christlikeness with your hands in your pockets, shoving the door open with a careless shoulder. This is no hobby for one's leisure moments, taken up at intervals when we have nothing much to do, and put down and forgotten when our life grows full and interesting... It takes all one's strength, and all one's heart, and all one's mind, and all one's soul, given freely and recklessly and without restraint. This is a business for adventurous spirits; others would shrink out of it. And so Christ had a way of pulling up would-be recruits with sobering and disconcerting questions, of meeting applicants -- breathless and panting in their eagerness -- by asking them if they really thought they had the grit, the stamina, the gallantry, required. For many, He explained, begin, but quickly become cowed, and slink away, leaving a thing unfinished as a pathetic monument of their own lack of courage and of staying power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She showed interest in learning about the profile of the Brazilian companies so that they may participate in future tenders ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42600]]></link><description><![CDATA[She showed interest in learning about the profile of the Brazilian companies so that they may participate in future tenders in the areas of services for subways, shops and other works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The story of life is quicker then the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello, goodbye. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64457]]></link><description><![CDATA[The story of life is quicker then the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello, goodbye.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You saw about a quarter of the defense.
