([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[In charity to all mankind, bearing no malice or ill-will to any human being, and even compassionating those who hold ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5684]]></link><description><![CDATA[In charity to all mankind, bearing no malice or ill-will to any human being, and even compassionating those who hold in bondage their fellow-men, not knowing what they do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sleep hath its own world, A boundary between the things misnamed  Death and existence: Sleep hath its own world, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56625]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sleep hath its own world, A boundary between the things misnamed  Death and existence: Sleep hath its own world,   And a wide realm of wild reality,    And dreams in their development have breath,     And tears and tortures, and the touch of joy.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56625</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is as real as a dream.

We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dogs have given us their absolute all.
