([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cooped in their winged sea-girt citadel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44014]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cooped in their winged sea-girt citadel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44014</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11203]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring, and because it has fresh peaches in it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11203</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Consider that I laboured not for myself only, but for all them that seek learning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24523]]></link><description><![CDATA[Consider that I laboured not for myself only, but for all them that seek learning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24523</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39102]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any ground subtracts its own hue from the colors which it carries and therefore influences.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39102</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost. -J.R.R.
