He did not here and now deal with sinful men. Paul lets us see how new and wonderful was the experience when God "flashed on his heart" in personal dealing with him. He had not suspected that God was like that. His theological studies had told him that God was loving and merciful; but he had thought this love and mercy were expressed once and for all in the arrangements He had made for Israel's blessedness... It was a new thing to be assured by an inward experience admitting of no further question that God loved him, and that the eternal mercy was a Father's free forgiveness of His erring child. This was the experience that Christ had brought him: he had seen the splendour of God's own love in the face of "the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."

The "greater love than this" of which our Lord speaks, though He does not command it, is to give oneself for one's friends. And when one does this, or is ready to do this, prayer even for "us" seems too selfish -- and it is unnecessary, for we then possess all that God Himself can give us. The easy renunciation of self for the Beloved becomes the very breath of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They are raised on high that their fall may be the greater. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48908]]></link><description><![CDATA[They are raised on high that their fall may be the greater.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well had the boding tremblers learn'd to trace The day's disasters in his morning face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14858]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well had the boding tremblers learn'd to trace The day's disasters in his morning face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14858</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should manage our fortune as we do our health - enjoy it when good, be patient when it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60672]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should manage our fortune as we do our health - enjoy it when good, be patient when it is bad, and never apply violent remedies except in an extreme necessity]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We published six books in our first year, we're publishing nine this year, and we're scheduled to publish 12 in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31390]]></link><description><![CDATA[We published six books in our first year, we're publishing nine this year, and we're scheduled to publish 12 in 2006,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vice gets more in this vicious world Than piety. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60496]]></link><description><![CDATA[Vice gets more in this vicious world Than piety.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64843]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Novelty in all things is charming. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Novelty in all things is charming.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can form a coalition very quickly but this may undermine its stability ... or we can take our time ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34781]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can form a coalition very quickly but this may undermine its stability ... or we can take our time and design a coalition government that will be stable and stay the course for four years.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Going into the season, I knew they were going to be the one seed in the Foothills League.

And one of the games to which it is most attached is called, ''Keep tomorrow dark,'' and which is also named (by the rustics in Shropshire, I have no doubt) ''Cheat the Prophet.'' The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that the clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. Then they go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despise not sweet inviting love-making nor the merry dance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50207]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despise not sweet inviting love-making nor the merry dance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It wasn't a hard choice.
