✦ MADE SIMPLE
And it's not just creation that's waiting — we are too. Even though we have the Spirit as like a preview of what's coming, we're still groaning inside, waiting for God to fully claim us as his kids and give our bodies the complete makeover they need.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
We're all in the waiting room together, holding onto hope for the full transformation that's coming.
