I reply, What if God does not care to have you know it at second-hand? What if there would be no good in that? There is some testimony on record, and perhaps there might be much more were it not that, having to do with things so immediately personal, and generally so delicate, answers to prayer would naturally not often be talked about; but no testimony concerning the thing can well be conclusive; for, like a reported miracle, there is always some way to daff it; and besides, the conviction to be got that way is of little value: it avails nothing to know the thing by the best of evidence... `But if God is so good as you represent Him, and if He knows all that we need, and better far than we do ourselves, why should it be necessary to ask Him for anything?" In answer, What if He knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer be the supplying of our great, our endless need -- the need of Himself?

Jesus Christ, with a confidence that to the timid traditionalism of His time appeared blasphemous, asserted that He knew the Father and was prepared to let others into that knowledge. He did so, not by handing down a new tradition about God, but by making others sharers in His own attitude to God. This is what Paul means by "having the mind of Christ." It was this clear, unquestioning conviction that gave Paul his power as a missionary: but he expected it also in his converts. To them too "the world of knowledge" came "by the same Spirit". He prayed that God would give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Such knowledge is, as Paul freely grants, only partial, but, so far as it goes, it is real, personal knowledge. In friendship between men there is a mutual knowledge which is never complete or free from mystery: yet you can know with a certainty nothing could shake, that your friend is "not the man to do such a thing", or that such-and-such a thing that you have heard is "just like him." You have a real knowledge which gives you a criterion. Such is the knowledge the Christian has of his Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O what a loud and fearful shriek was there! . . .  Ah me! they view'd beneath an hireling's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16673]]></link><description><![CDATA[O what a loud and fearful shriek was there! . . .  Ah me! they view'd beneath an hireling's sword   Fallen Kosciusco.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Come, we burn daylight, ho! Nay, that's not so.  I mean, sir, in delay   We waste our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Come, we burn daylight, ho! Nay, that's not so.  I mean, sir, in delay   We waste our lights in vain, like lamps by day.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All currency is neurotic currency. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15826]]></link><description><![CDATA[All currency is neurotic currency.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It doesn't get any easier.
