Now I ask for God. Supposing there is a tree full of fruits -- you will have to go and buy or beg the fruits from the owner of the tree. Every day you would have to go for one or two fruits. But if you can make the tree your own property, then all the fruits will be your own. In the same way, if God is your own, then all things in Heaven and on earth will be your own, because He is your Father and is everything to you; otherwise you will have to go and ask like a beggar for certain things. When they are used up, you will have to ask again. So ask not for gifts but for the Giver of Gifts: not for life but for the Giver of Life -- then life and the things needed for life will be added unto you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His morality is all sympathy, just what morality should be ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58509]]></link><description><![CDATA[His morality is all sympathy, just what morality should be]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'd like to stay located in that facility until the new museum is built. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41128]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'd like to stay located in that facility until the new museum is built.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41128</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves -- to break ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves -- to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21122]]></link><description><![CDATA[Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward toward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21122</guid></item></channel></rss>
