Jesus says that His yoke is easy, His burden is light. People sometimes refuse to do God's work just because it is easy. This is sometimes because they cannot believe that easy work is His work; but there may be a very bad pride in it.   Some, again, accept it with half a heart and do it with half a hand. But however easy any work may be, it can not be well done without taking thought about it. And such people, instead of taking thought about their work, generally take thought about the morrow -- in which no work can be done, any more than in yesterday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8089</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The created world is but a small parenthesis in eternity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14195]]></link><description><![CDATA[The created world is but a small parenthesis in eternity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship, 1951   Joy is not gush: joy is not jolliness. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8343]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Amy Carmichael, Founder of the Dohnavur Fellowship, 1951   Joy is not gush: joy is not jolliness.
