Consider Christ's proceeding with Peter in the ship, in the storm: First he suffered him to be in some danger in the storm, but then he visits him with that strong assurance, "Be not afraid, It is I": any testimony of his presence rectifies all. This puts Peter into that spiritual confidence and courage, "Lord bid me come to thee"; he hath a desire to be with Christ, but yet stays his bidding: he puts not himself into an unnecessary danger, without commandment: Christ bids him, and Peter comes: but yet, though Christ were in his sight, and even in the actual exercise of his love to him, so soon as he saw a gust, a storm, "He was afraid"; and Christ lets him fear, and lets him sink, and lets him cry, but he directs his fear and his cry to the right end: "Lord, save me"; and thereupon he stretched forth his hand and saved him...   God puts his children into good ways, and he directs and protects them in those ways; for this is the constancy and perseverence of the love of Jesus Christ to us, as he is called in this text (Matt. 21:44), a stone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a very cold and windy storm. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32494]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a very cold and windy storm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got into an argument with a girlfriend inside of a tent.

Only he who lives by the forgiveness of his sin in Jesus Christ will rightly think little of himself. He will know that his own wisdom reached the end of its tether when Jesus forgave him. He will know that it is good for his own will to be broken in the encounter with his neighbor...   But not only my neighbor's will, but also his honor is more important than mine. The desire for one's own honor hinders faith. One who seeks his own honor is no longer seeking God and his neighbor. What does it matter if I suffer injustice? Would I not have deserved even worse punishment from God, if He had not dealt with me according to His mercy?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22316]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement -- and we will make the goal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the twentieth year of the reign of the right high and puissant King Henry the Eighth, namely, in 1529, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4631]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the twentieth year of the reign of the right high and puissant King Henry the Eighth, namely, in 1529, on the twenty-first of April, and on one of the loveliest evenings that ever fell on the loveliest district in England, a fair youth, having somewhat the appearance of a page, was leaning over the terrace-wall on the north side of Windsor Castle, and gazing at the magnificent scene before him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4631</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Me playing and wanting to start would be selfish and not a team thing.
