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[We want either an apology or some kind of explanation as to why they chose to do the cartoons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28521]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want either an apology or some kind of explanation as to why they chose to do the cartoons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first and last thing required of genius is the love of truth. [Ger., Das erste und letzte, was vom ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17318]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first and last thing required of genius is the love of truth. [Ger., Das erste und letzte, was vom Genie gefordert wird, ist Wahreits-Liebe.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no dogma that the organ or harmonium can be used in church, but not the drum. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34986]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no dogma that the organ or harmonium can be used in church, but not the drum.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a man is ashamed of is always at bottom himself; and he is ashamed of himself at bottom always ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26840]]></link><description><![CDATA[What a man is ashamed of is always at bottom himself; and he is ashamed of himself at bottom always for being afraid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26840</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was young I was sure of everything; in a few years, having been mistaken a thousand times, I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5461]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I was young I was sure of everything; in a few years, having been mistaken a thousand times, I was not half so sure of most things as I was before; at present, I am hardly sure of anything but what God has revealed to me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5461</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jake did a good job for us on the mound and really did a good job keeping their offense shutdown. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38211]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jake did a good job for us on the mound and really did a good job keeping their offense shutdown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Withdraw yourself from that vile bondage; Come say, "I am free," "I am free." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50398]]></link><description><![CDATA[Withdraw yourself from that vile bondage; Come say, "I am free," "I am free."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50398</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Democracy, I do not conceive that ever God did ordain as a fit government either for church or commonwealth.
