But the things of the soul are far more momentous, and to be asked to deal with huge, unfathomable facts like the Cross in a few minutes, means that people are not really interested in these things.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to thank God for this retirement. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51837]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to thank God for this retirement.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always forgive your enemies--nothing annoys them so much. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Always forgive your enemies--nothing annoys them so much.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The time draws near the birth of Christ: The moon is hid; the night is still;  The Christmas bells ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8647]]></link><description><![CDATA[The time draws near the birth of Christ: The moon is hid; the night is still;  The Christmas bells from hill to hill   Answer each other in the mist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8647</guid></item></channel></rss>
