We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage or by removal of the patient from the influences under which he incurred the disorder.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make sure you have a different opinion and people will talk about you ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44981]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make sure you have a different opinion and people will talk about you]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44981</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Results!

They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bind her, grind her, burn her with fire, Cast her ashes into the sea,--  She shall escape, she shall ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13916]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bind her, grind her, burn her with fire, Cast her ashes into the sea,--  She shall escape, she shall aspire,   She shall arise to make men free;    She shall arise in a sacred scorn,     Lighting the lives that are yet unborn,      Spirit supernal, splendor eternal,       England!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13916</guid></item></channel></rss>
