“I now consider that our present SUFFERINGS are not worth comparing with the GLORY that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the One who subjected it, in HOPE that the creation itself will be LIBERATED from its bondage to decay and brought into the GLORIOUS FREEDOM of the children of God. . .

. . . We groan inwardly as we WAIT EAGERLY for our adoption as sons, the REDEMPTION of our bodies. For in this HOPE we are SAVED. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for we do not yet have, we WAIT for it PATIENTLY.

In the same way, the Holy Spirit HELPS us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercededes for us with groans that words can not express. And HE who SEARCHES our HEARTS knows the MIND of the Spirit, because the Spirit interceded for the saints in accordance with God’s will.

“And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up His spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.” Matthew 27:50-51

This is our heavenly Father’s invitation to enter into the holy of holies. Leaving no room for question of our worthiness nor does doubt have air to breath. As His very flesh tore so with the curtain of the holy temple. He has invited us. With His cry, shouting to the whole earth, ‘Come in! Come into me, abide in me, remain in me, have eternity. I have made access to the Father’s heart, now anyone everyone can come in, beyond the veil of flesh and curtain. There is no excuse. Here I am, have me, enjoy me.’ Before He went to the Cross He knew every thought and intention of man’s heart and knew whom He was sacrificing for. He knew as He washed Judas’ feet, to whom would betray the dearly Beloved. The breaking of the flesh and the splitting of the temple, He forever has opened the door to us. He longs for us. Beckoning us. How sweet the breathe upon Jesus’ lips that with His cry, He cried ‘You are invited, Come in. Enter inside my all emcompassing love’

“The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” Galatians 5:6

“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all msyteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have and if I die to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.”1 Cornithians13:1-3

“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not easily irritated or resentful, it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things in Christ. Love never ends.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

“If we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.” 1 John 4:12

“God is love” 1 John 4:8
