Romans 8:18-23 (NASB)  For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the anxious longing of the creation [intense anticipation, strained longing with outstretched neck] waits eagerly for [expects fully] the revealing [uncovering, manifestation, appearing] of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 And not only this but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan [moan, sigh] within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.
Romans 8:19 (HCSB) 
For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God's sons to be revealed.
Romans 8:19 (TPT) The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters.
The World Is Waiting For Christ Within You!
Galatians 4:1-2 (NASB) Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, [nepios: an infant, simple-minded or immature] he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner [authority; lord, master] of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.
(NLT) Think of it this way. If a father dies and leaves an inheritance for his young children, those children are not much better off than slaves until they grow up, even though they actually own everything their father had. 2 They have to obey their guardians until they reach whatever age their father set. 
You grow in how you speak [you learn to build up and not tear down]
You grow in how you think [you become more kingdom minded]
You grow in your reasoning [with an eternal perspective]
1. That God the Father wants them in His Forever Family!
John 1:12 (KJV) As many as received Him, to them He gave power [1849 Exousia: authority, the right - it refers to the right to exercise authority] to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.
That God wants to be their Forever Friend!  - Share Hearts Together
John 15:12 (NASB) No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing (NLT) a master doesn't confide in his slaves. (MSG) servants don't understand what their master is thinking and planning; but I have called you friends [loved, dear] for all things that I have heard [and learned] from My Father I have made known to you.
That God is their Forever Helper!  - Handle Burdens Together  
1 Corinthians 3:9 (HCSB) We are God's coworkers. (AMP) We are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God.
