And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wise men make more opportunities than they find. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45059]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wise men make more opportunities than they find.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52496]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was an innovator, an experimenter, a missionary in bringing the gospel of good cooking to the home table. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10155]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was an innovator, an experimenter, a missionary in bringing the gospel of good cooking to the home table.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today, communication itself is the problem.
