To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life -- to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son -- how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am very proud of the support that we received from deputies of the LaPorte County Sheriff's office during this ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37873]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am very proud of the support that we received from deputies of the LaPorte County Sheriff's office during this catastrophe,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In an up cycle, it is very difficult to forecast the velocity of the earnings growth.

Oh, Thou didst know that Thy deed would be recorded in books, would be handed down to remote times and the utmost ends of the earth, and Thou didst hope that man, following Thee, would cling to God and not ask for a miracle. But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60304</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. [Fr., La patience est amere, mais son fruit est doux.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45730]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. [Fr., La patience est amere, mais son fruit est doux.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education is the fire-proofer of emotions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education is the fire-proofer of emotions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13528</guid></item></channel></rss>
