Thus the question is whether we are to accept change passively and be swept away by it or whether we are to take the lead and create positive changes on our own initiative.

I had made myself the centre of my own existence and had my back turned to God. All the beauty and truth which I had discovered had come to me as a reflection of his beauty, but I had kept my eyes fixed on the reflection and was always looking at myself. But God had brought me to the point at which I was compelled to turn away from the reflection, both of myself and of the world which could only mirror my own image. During that night the mirror had been broken, and I had felt abandoned because I could no longer gaze upon the image of my own reason and the finite world which it knew. God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6469</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25318]]></link><description><![CDATA[Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65022]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christmas... is not an external event at all, but a piece of one's home that one carries in one's heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must chose in life between boredom and suffering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24963]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must chose in life between boredom and suffering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he 's most assured, His glassy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55383]]></link><description><![CDATA[But man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he 's most assured, His glassy essence, like an angry ape, Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven As make the angels weep. -Measure for Measure.

I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64611]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life does not agree with philosophy: There is no happiness that is not idleness, and only what is useless is pleasurable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64611</guid></item></channel></rss>
