I have a dog in the fight - my family is inheriting this world.
ah, so you say.
But see you are also saying that you are in the world here ok, you even go on to affirm the pov.
And you think that your family will inherit that world, but believe it or not that world is completely a figment of your imagination, completely, 100%, and when you die, that
world dies with you. Go tell your four year old grandchild what Trump just did, or how broke America is, and note their response. Now maybe do it with an eight year old, then a twelve year old, see, you can even hear the progression. The sixteen year old you dont even have to bother, right, they have founded the world at that point, they ask the four year old how things should be done for a joke too see
That was a cute poem.
I have that same exact feeling of "groaning inwardly" in the Spirit - it's a type of longing. I guess for that connection with God that we only have a foretaste of now.
I tend to be proactive. For instance, in our first house - everyone accepted that the road where we lived wasn't paved and we had to park our cars and walk a mile to get home. I scheduled a meeting with the mayor and passed the word to the neighbors - I didn't even have to talk; all the neighbors were so angry they exploded on the mayor - and the road was paved. I guess everybody else sat around in their living rooms waiting for God to pave the road:)
Listening for God is a hard skill.
you know who else is famous for paving roads right
