We all know the changes and chances of this troublous life; but we can also know in this vale of tears the healthful spirit of His grace. Health for the whole man is God's gracious purpose for us here and now, often frustrated, often prevented by unbelief. The life of the saints in light must not emphasize for us simply the contrast between their state and ours, but rather the beginning of the gift of eternal life and all its benefits of inner strength and peace amid earthly vicissitudes. .]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disappointments are to the soul what the thunder-storm is to the air ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12366]]></link><description><![CDATA[Disappointments are to the soul what the thunder-storm is to the air]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12366</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination is the eye of the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20501]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imagination is the eye of the soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We adjusted the man-to-man defense.
