They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In great matters men show themselves as they wish to be seen; in small matters, as they are. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22864]]></link><description><![CDATA[In great matters men show themselves as they wish to be seen; in small matters, as they are.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796  If one thing is clear as soon as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Samuel Seabury, First Anglican Bishop in North America, 1796  If one thing is clear as soon as the Church becomes serious about its missionary and ministerial calling for the world, it is that two difficult roads in particular have to be trodden: first, the road towards overcoming the scantiness of its knowledge of the world of today, and its ignoring of what really goes on in the world under its surface; secondly, the road towards reforming its spirit, atmosphere, and inherited structure, in so far as they give no room for new vitality... What can and must be said and resaid, with all gratitude for what in many places is already happening, is that a fearless scrutiny and revision of structure is one of the most urgent aspects of a renewal of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Goths tend to be rather pacifistic, so to associate all Goths with violence because some of them are into heavy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17933]]></link><description><![CDATA[Goths tend to be rather pacifistic, so to associate all Goths with violence because some of them are into heavy metal music is illogical.
