When self-esteem is low, our resilience in the face of life's adversities is diminished. We crumble before vicissitudes that a healthier sense of self could vanquish. We tend to be more influenced by the desire to avoid pain than to experience joy. Negatives have more power over us than positives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's wrestling well.

It lay in the relationship he held with God. We know the familiar idea of Jesus' oneness with God: only we deal with it too much as a doctrine of the Church, not as an element in Jesus' own experience. If we never find it in reality, in life, we cannot reveal the true Christ-like character at all -- we will always be trying earnestly to be something, but on too superficial and obvious a plane.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn June 28, 1996 Feast of Irenêus, Bishop of Lyons, Teacher, Martyr, c.200  The Church exists, and does not depend for its existence upon our definition of it: it exists wherever God in His sovereign freedom calls it into being by calling his own into the fellowship of His Son. And it exists solely by His mercy. God shuts up and will shut up every way except the way of faith which simply accepts His mercy as mercy. To that end, He is free to break off unbelieving branches, to graft in wild slips, and to call "No people" His people. And if, at the end, those who have preserved through all the centuries the visible "marks" of the Church find themselves at the same board with some strange and uncouth late-comers on the ecclesiastical scene, may we not fancy that they will hear Him say -- would it not be so like him to say -- "It is my will to give unto these last even as unto thee"? Final judgement belongs to God, and we have to beware of judging before the time. I think that if we refuse fellowship in Christ to any body of men and women who accept Jesus as Lord and show the fruits of His Spirit in their corporate life, we do so at our peril. It behooves us, therefore, to receive one another as Christ has received us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When a girl ceases to blush, she has lost the most powerful charm of her beauty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27142]]></link><description><![CDATA[When a girl ceases to blush, she has lost the most powerful charm of her beauty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never forget that the most powerful force on earth is love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66531]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never forget that the most powerful force on earth is love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66531</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll be 65 in September and I work as much as I want to, take cruises with Kay, relax with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35103]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll be 65 in September and I work as much as I want to, take cruises with Kay, relax with my family, do everything in moderation, because I want to enjoy my life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art and science have their meeting point in method. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art and science have their meeting point in method.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fancy light from Fancy caught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fancy light from Fancy caught.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66441]]></link><description><![CDATA[I stand here before you not as a prophet, but as a humble servant of you, the people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66441</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunity comes in a once while, you got to see it, just like a shooting star. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45112]]></link><description><![CDATA[Opportunity comes in a once while, you got to see it, just like a shooting star.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45112</guid></item></channel></rss>
