For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The airlines are part of the overall surveillance network.
