But how to give Him a present to express our love is a bit of a problem. How can you give God anything when He owns everything? But does He? How about that power to choose, that precious free will that He has given to every living personality and which He so greatly respects? That is the only present we can give -- our selves, with all our powers of spirit, mind, and body, willingly, freely given because we love Him. That is the best and highest worship that you and I can offer, and I am sure that it is this above all that God most highly appreciates.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Parent of golden dreams, Romance! Auspicious queen of childish joys,  Who lead'st along, in airy dance,   Thy ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54354]]></link><description><![CDATA[Parent of golden dreams, Romance! Auspicious queen of childish joys,  Who lead'st along, in airy dance,   Thy votive train of girls and boys.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/99]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/99</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody has any doubt that ETA wanted to attack before the general elections, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29322]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody has any doubt that ETA wanted to attack before the general elections,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You shine the light and you let them come out with their own words and they'll be exposed for what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39501]]></link><description><![CDATA[You shine the light and you let them come out with their own words and they'll be exposed for what they really are, which is ridiculous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dreams have only the pigmentation of fact. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63297]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dreams have only the pigmentation of fact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63297</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It does not help us move forward.
