But such a formula, though it truly represented one side of their situation, can never represent the whole of any human situation. For God is also a Being whom it ill suits any of us to find but from whom we cannot escape. Part of the reason why men cannot find God is that there is that in Him which they do not desire to find, so that the God whom they are seeking and cannot find is not the God who truly is. Perhaps we could not fail to find God, if it were really God whom we were seeking. And indeed the deepest reality of the situation is that contained in the discovery, which alone is likely at last to resolve our perplexity, that when we were so distressfully seeking that which was not really God, the true God had already found us, though at first we did not know that it was He by whom we had been found. There is a saying, "Be careful what you seek; you might find it." And some who have sought God only as a complacent ally of their own ambitions have found Him a consuming fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62250]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62250</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kmart's significant losses and sales decline in the first quarter reflect the many challenges the company faced in the period ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36967]]></link><description><![CDATA[Kmart's significant losses and sales decline in the first quarter reflect the many challenges the company faced in the period following our voluntary Chapter 11 filing, ...
