Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To bring one's self to a frame of mind and to the proper energy to accomplish things that require plain ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22201]]></link><description><![CDATA[To bring one's self to a frame of mind and to the proper energy to accomplish things that require plain hard work continuously is the one big battle that everyone has.

I think when Judas fled from his hanged and fallen body, he fled to the tender help of Jesus, and found it -- I say not how.
