"Salvation" can be seen then as the new life in Christ, in which we are to be "free to develop" into Christ-like people. For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We need at times, some of us at most times, that Charity from others which, being Love Himself in them, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8525]]></link><description><![CDATA[We need at times, some of us at most times, that Charity from others which, being Love Himself in them, loves the unlovable. But this, though a sort of love we need, is not the sort we want. We want to be loved for our cleverness, beauty, generosity, fairness, usefulness. The first hint that anyone is offering us the highest love of all is a terrible shock. This is so well recognized that spiteful people will pretend to be loving us with Charity precisely because they know that it will wound us. To say to one who expects a renewal of Affection, Friendship, or Eros, "I forgive you as a Christian" is merely a way of continuing the quarrel. Those who say it are of course lying. But the thing would not be falsely said in order to wound unless, if it were true, it would be wounding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8525</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14672]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rule Of the many is not well.

Yet there was a case, in which David found an ease, to fall into the hands of God, to scape the hands of men: When God's hand is bent to strike, it is a fearefull thing, to fall into the hands of the living God; but to fall out of the hands of the living God, is a horror beyond our expression, beyond our imagination.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8081</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675  This, of course, is what religion is about: this adherence to God, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675  This, of course, is what religion is about: this adherence to God, this confident dependence on that which is unchanging. This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item></channel></rss>
