And if your prayer is only a form of words, made by the skill of other people, such a prayer can no more change you into a good man, than an actor upon the stage, who speaks kingly language, is thereby made to be a king: whereas one thought, or word, or look, towards God, proceeding from your own heart, can never be without its proper fruit, or fail of doing a real good to your soul. Again, another great and infallible benefit of this kind of prayer is this; it is the only way to be delivered from the deceitfulness of your own hearts.

Our holiness is an effect, not a cause; so long as our eyes are on our own personal whiteness as an end in itself, the thing breaks down. God can do nothing while my interest is in my own personal character--He will take care of this if I obey His call. In learning to love God and people as He commanded us to do, obviously your sanctification cannot but come, but not as an end in itself.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  November 13, 2001 Feast of Charles Simeon, Pastor, Teacher, 1836   Repentance is in every view so desirable, so necessary, so suited to honor God, that I seek that above all. The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears. I long to be in my proper place, my hand on my mouth, and my mouth in the dust... I feel this to be safe ground. Here I cannot err... I am sure that whatever God may despise... He will not despise the broken and contrite heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Calamity is man's true touchstone ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12383]]></link><description><![CDATA[Calamity is man's true touchstone]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the reward of my folly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51749]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the reward of my folly.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You're never too old to grow up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26581]]></link><description><![CDATA[You're never too old to grow up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461   How wonderful it is -- is it not? -- ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Leo the Great, Bishop of Rome, 461   How wonderful it is -- is it not? -- that literally only Christianity has taught us the true place and function of suffering. The Stoics tried the hopeless little game of denying its objective reality, or of declaring it a good in itself (which it never is); and the Pessimists attempted to revel in it, as a food to their melancholy, and as something that can no more be transformed than it can be avoided or explained. But Christ came, and He did not really explain it; He did far more: He met it, willed it, transformed it; and He taught us to do all this -- or, rather, He Himself does it within us, if we do not hinder the all-healing hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6731</guid></item></channel></rss>
