Romans 8:22-26 (The Message)

"All around us we observe a pregnant creation. The difficult times of pain throughout the world are simply birth pangs. But it's not only around us; it's within us. The Spirit of God is arousing us within. We're also feeling the birthpangs. These sterile and barren bodies of ours are yearning for full deliverance. That is why waiting does not diminish us. We are enlarged in the waiting. We, of course, don't see what is enlarging us. But the linger we wait, the larger we become, and the more joyful our expectancy. Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along."

I feel something growing in me. I wait and I wonder.
