Waiting For Redemption

JamesAMangumMemory_500.jpg

We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. (Romans 8:22-23)

The infant
suffers the labor pains
of her own birth.

Seen above (and on home-page mastheads): “Memory” by James A. Mangum
