Yearnings Beyond Words

Yearnings Beyond Words

For we were saved in this hope,

but hope that is seen is not hope.

For how can one hope for what she

already sees.

But if we hope for what is still unseen

by us, we wait for it with patience and

composure.

So too the Holy Spirit comes to our aid

and bears us up in our weakness.

For we do not know what prayer to

offer nor how to offer it worthily as

we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes

to meet our supplication and pleads

in our behalf with unspeakable

yearnings and groanings too deep

for utterance.

( Romans 8.24-26).

INSPIRATION

Meditate on the following:

1) The hope of redemption for our bodies.

2) The meaning of hope

3) Waiting patiently

4) The Holy Spirit articulates our deepest

yearnings. These are yearnings for which

words do not yet exist in our vocabulary.

5) These yearnings without words are

communicated for us via the Holy Spirit.

PRAISE THE LORD O MY SOUL!
