This speaks for God in an age of inhumanity and impersonality and facelessness. When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.

And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17183]]></link><description><![CDATA[I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And his best riches, ignorance of wealth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20415]]></link><description><![CDATA[And his best riches, ignorance of wealth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a lot of explanations. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26134]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little inaccuracy sometimes saves a lot of explanations.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is most tolerable, and not to be endured. -Much Ado about Nothing.
