Groanings

Written by Andrea on Jul 16 2008 | Scripture

Our suffering is, but will not always be.

We get frustrated so easily with our bondage and decay.

We groan.

Inwardly. Outwardly.

We feel pain.

The present is only now.

For a long period,

They groaned.

Groaned.

In their slavery,

They cried for help—

To the One who could help them.

For a long period,

He was silent.

Then,

He heard them.

He was concerned about them.

He

delivered them.

Now, they are free!

No longer enslaved!

No longer groaning!

For us, too, there is

A different glory.

A better glory.

Unimagined.

Hope that is seen is no hope at all.

Eager expectation.

Liberation.

Adoption.

Redemption.

For in this hope,

We are saved.

He

will deliver us.

*Exodus 2:23-25 and Romans 8: 18-27.

    I like this. It is very expressive and captures both the emotion and spiritual truth. Keep this going!
