([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So we grew together, Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,  But yet an union in partition--   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60146]]></link><description><![CDATA[So we grew together, Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,  But yet an union in partition--   Two lovely berries moulded on one stem;    So, with two seeming bodies, but one heart;     Two of the first, like coats in heraldry,      Due but to one, and crowned with one crest.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60146</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is for each man a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is for each man a solitary cell whose walls are mirrors.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can there be a love which does not make demands on its object? -Confucius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25934]]></link><description><![CDATA[Can there be a love which does not make demands on its object? -Confucius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21830]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is at home, it's we who have gone out for a walk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21830</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's providence is on the side of clear heads. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51938]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's providence is on the side of clear heads.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who is greedy is always in want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18292]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who is greedy is always in want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a tear for all who die, A mourner o'er the humblest grave.   - Lord Byron (George ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58788]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a tear for all who die, A mourner o'er the humblest grave.   - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron),]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This just sort of adds insult to injury, in many respects, ...
