Love is such that, without experiencing the joy of union with the object of our love, there is a real sense in which "the soul dies." A man who loves God according to the Conob idiom would say "my soul dies for God." This not only describes the powerful emotion felt by the one who loves, but it should imply a related truth -- namely, that in true love there is no room for self. The man who loves God must die to self. True love is, of all emotions, the most unselfish, for it does not look out for self but for others. False love seeks to possess; true love seeks to be possessed. False love leads to cancerous jealousy; true love leads to a life-giving ministry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No one who has ever brought up a child can doubt for a moment that love is literally the life-giving ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4260]]></link><description><![CDATA[No one who has ever brought up a child can doubt for a moment that love is literally the life-giving fluid of human existence]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a facility we'd like filled and you have one you'd like to see stay filled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37659]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a facility we'd like filled and you have one you'd like to see stay filled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Facts are stubborn things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44947]]></link><description><![CDATA[Facts are stubborn things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those spacious regions where our fancies roam, Pain'd by the past, expecting ills to come,  In some dread moment. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14208]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those spacious regions where our fancies roam, Pain'd by the past, expecting ills to come,  In some dread moment. by the fates assign'd,   Shall pass away, nor leave a rack behind;    And Time's revolving wheels shall lose at last     The speed that spins the future and the past:      And, sovereign of an undisputed throne,       Awful eternity shall reign alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14208</guid></item></channel></rss>
