So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.

They now knew him no more by sight and after the flesh; they had His Spirit. And this "having" is both a real possession and a foretaste, an earnest of what is in store...   The Spirit assures us that we are heirs of a kingdom yet to be revealed (Rom. 8:17). The Spirit wars in us against the flesh (Gal. 5:17) and gives us assurance that even our mortal bodies shall be quickened (Rom. 8:11). Meanwhile the very mark of the Spirit's presence is that we groan waiting for our adoption (Rom. 8:23) and hoping for that which we do not yet see (Rom. 8:24,25).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A pity about the people! they are brave enough comrades, but they have heads like a soapboiler's. [Ger., Schad'um die ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58079]]></link><description><![CDATA[A pity about the people! they are brave enough comrades, but they have heads like a soapboiler's. [Ger., Schad'um die Leut'!

Perfect love, we know, casteth out fear. But so do several other things--ignorance, alcohol, passion presumption, and stupidity. It is very desirable that we should all advance to that perfection of love in which we shall fear no longer; but it is very undesirable, until we have reached that stage, that we should allow any inferior agent to cast out our fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All human joys are swift of wing, For heaven doth so allot it;  That when you get an easy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23424]]></link><description><![CDATA[All human joys are swift of wing, For heaven doth so allot it;  That when you get an easy thing,   You find you haven't got it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23424</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34872]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My star, God's glowworm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17574]]></link><description><![CDATA[My star, God's glowworm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17574</guid></item></channel></rss>
