Sugar Rush

I LOVE SUGAR!!! Obviously not the way I love my family or my friends, but I take GREAT DELIGHT in consuming it! When I was younger my motto with regard to sugar was "The more, the Better!" Now you may be wondering what this has to do with Romans, since I've been blogging about it all week... =)

As my dear sister and I were discussing this last week, she commented about the part "we hope for what we do not see". We talked about how we BELIEVE what God has said about the goodness that will be in His kingdom when Christ returns, but we really have no concept of what that will be like. We talked about how our understanding of what eternity will be has changed. And I said, I cannot imagine what it will be like to eat sugar and enjoy sugar, but not WORSHIP sugar. I will eat and enjoy sugar and all the time be worshiping the MAKER of the sugar and not the sugar itself! What will that even be like?!? I don't know... but I can't wait to find out! =)

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. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Romans 8:18-25
