He did not here and now deal with sinful men. Paul lets us see how new and wonderful was the experience when God "flashed on his heart" in personal dealing with him. He had not suspected that God was like that. His theological studies had told him that God was loving and merciful; but he had thought this love and mercy were expressed once and for all in the arrangements He had made for Israel's blessedness... It was a new thing to be assured by an inward experience admitting of no further question that God loved him, and that the eternal mercy was a Father's free forgiveness of His erring child. This was the experience that Christ had brought him: he had seen the splendour of God's own love in the face of "the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

Look right, look left, I dwell alone; I lift mine eyes, but dimmed with grief No everlasting hills I see; My life is in the falling leaf: O Jesus, quicken me. My life is like a faded leaf, My harvest dwindled to a husk: Truly my life is void and brief And tedious in the barren dusk; My life is like a frozen thing, No bud nor greenness can I see: Yet rise it shall--the sap of spring; O Jesus, rise in me. My life is like a broken bowl, A broken bowl that cannot hold One drop of water for my soul Or cordial in the searching cold; Cast in the fire the perished thing; Melt and remould it, till it be A royal cup for Him, my King: O Jesus, drink of me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faith is not contrary to reason…. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53712]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faith is not contrary to reason….]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're getting hurt, but I'm a long-term investor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29037]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're getting hurt, but I'm a long-term investor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29037</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You gotta be a man to play baseball for a living, but you gotta have a lot of little boy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3757]]></link><description><![CDATA[You gotta be a man to play baseball for a living, but you gotta have a lot of little boy in you too.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For me it's a European-type movie, ...
