Eager

Wait eagerly.

Galatians 5:5

"But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope."

Philippians 3:20
"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ"

How? Wait eagerly:
1) by faith
2) through the Holy Spirit

Waiting eagerly fills us with hope. We experience a sense of expectation and desire for Jesus to come back. This keeps us from both extremes; it keeps us from being: too attached to this world to leave it and too disconnected from this world to reach it.
