([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[Look a man in the eye and say what you really think, don't just smile at him and say what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19670]]></link><description><![CDATA[Look a man in the eye and say what you really think, don't just smile at him and say what you're supposed to think.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This so-called election is a total farce.
