romans8

romans 8 HAS to be my very favorite book and chapter of the Bible. it's so full of hope and inspiration it just astounds me every time i read it. the words are so profound and just like 'HEY!, you ridiculous people, what in the world are you thinking?' why do we dwell so much on the now? what were going to wear tomorrow, whos dating who, whos mad at who, our grades, our future, our money, when God gave us this earth to enjoy and glorify Him. "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God." [romans8:18-19] those two verses just about sum it up. we wait with eager longing...how many of us can say we wait with eager longing? not too many. were so caught up in our every day lives that we cant just take the time to stop and realize what this life is really about. its not about the cars we drive, its not about the clothes we wear, its not about the grades we earn, its not about the money we make, its not about the politics, i could go on and on for hours about what its not about, but what is it about? Him. get lost in the Word of God, take a look outside at this gorgeous and complex world, and appreciate our time we have. i read this book and i constantly have to remind myself of what its saying.
