This we see in Christ when He saith: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."  ... Theologia Germanica  June 21, 1998  Alas! day by day we ask that His Will may be done, and yet, when it comes to the doing, we find it so hard! We offer ourselves so often to God -- we continually say, "Lord, I am Thine, I give Thee my heart," and when He accepts it, we are such cowards. How dare we call ourselves His, if we cannot shape our own wills to His?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17487]]></link><description><![CDATA[A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He made arrangements to get those kids back to her, ...

For when the heart really pants and longs after God, its prayer is a praying, as moved and animated by the Spirit of God; it is the breath or inspiration of God, stirring, moving and opening itself in the heart. For though the early nature, our old man, can oblige or accustom himself to take heavenly words at certain times into his mouth, yet this is a certain truth, that nothing ever did, or can have the least desire or tendency to ascend to heaven, but that which came down from heaven; and therefore nothing in the heart can pray, aspire, and long after God, but the Spirit of God moving and stirring in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Writing is an exploration.
