Please read MANIFESTATION OF GOD’S CHILDREN
For we know that the whole creation
groans and labors
with birth pains together until now.
Not only that but we also who have
the first fruits of the Spirit
even we ourselves groan
within ourselves
eagerly
waiting for the adoption
the redemption of our body.
For we were saved in this hope
but hope that is seen is
not hope for why does one still
hope for what he sees
But if we hope for what
we do not see we eagerly wait
for it with perseverence.
Likewise the Spirit also helps in
our weaknesses.
For we do not know
what we should
pray for as we ought,
but the Spirit Himself
makes intercession
for us with groanings
which can not be uttered.
Now He who searches the hearts
knows what the mind of
the Spirit is, because He makes
intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.
And we know that all things work
together for good to
those who love God, to those who
are the called according
to His purpose.
(Romans 8.22-28).
