But how to give Him a present to express our love is a bit of a problem. How can you give God anything when He owns everything? But does He? How about that power to choose, that precious free will that He has given to every living personality and which He so greatly respects? That is the only present we can give -- our selves, with all our powers of spirit, mind, and body, willingly, freely given because we love Him. That is the best and highest worship that you and I can offer, and I am sure that it is this above all that God most highly appreciates.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose.

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[Man becomes man only by his intelligence, but he is man only by his heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22902]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man becomes man only by his intelligence, but he is man only by his heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22902</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't wait until everything is just right.

Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior; but take great care not to drop one word of their experience; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3252]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abstract Art: A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3252</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frankly, the president has not been satisfied.
