Advent 2015 - Day 14

"We are to groan for glorification, but we are to wait patiently for it, knowing that what the Lord appoints is best. Waiting implies being ready. We are to stand at the door, expecting the Beloved to open it and take us away to Himself. This “groaning” is a test. You may judge a man by what he groans after. Some men groan after wealth—they worship money. Some groan continually under the troubles of life; they are merely impatient. But the man who sighs after God, who is uneasy until he is made like Christ, that is the blessed man. May God help us to groan for the coming of the Lord and the resurrection that He will bring to us." (Charles Haddon Spurgeon)
