The affliction is light and temporary when compared with the all-surpassing and everlasting glory. So Paul, writing against a background of recent and (even for him) unparalleled tribulation, had assured his friends in Corinth a year or two before this that 'this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison' (2 Cor 4:17). It is not merely that the glory is a compensation for the suffering; it actually grows out of the suffering. There is an organic relation between the two for the believer as surely as there was for the Lord.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6325</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We all of us need assistance.

And hence it is that worse passions, or a worse degree of them are to be found in persons of great religious zeal than in others that made no pretenses to it. History also furnishes us with instances of persons of great piety and devotion who have fallen into great delusions and deceived both themselves and others. The occasion of their fall was this: ... They considered their whole nature as the subject of religion and divine graces; and therefore their religion was according to the workings of their whole nature, and the old man was as busy and as much delighted in it as the new.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7338</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can't help the look of accusation in your eyes ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/342]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can't help the look of accusation in your eyes]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14218]]></link><description><![CDATA[A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14218</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We usually see only the things we are looking for- so much so that we sometimes see them where they ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52270]]></link><description><![CDATA[We usually see only the things we are looking for- so much so that we sometimes see them where they are not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O God, thy sea is so great, and my boat is so small ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4408]]></link><description><![CDATA[O God, thy sea is so great, and my boat is so small]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesus did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7349]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jesus did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, but He did finish the work which Gad gave Him to do.
