A child is born to us! A son is given to us! And he will be our ruler. He will be called, “Wonderful Counsellor”, “Mighty God”, “Eternal Father”, “Prince of Peace”.
Isaiah 9:6 GNBDC
“I am the Lord's servant,” said Mary; “may it happen to me as you have said.” And the angel left her.
Luke 1:38 GNBDC
We all have a plan and part to play in the salvation story and this began from Adam and Eve, their disobedience brought the separation of Man from God. But it was the obedience of Jesus and Mary that bought about the restoration of Man's relationship with God. Jesus obeyed his Father by accepting the cross but the fulfillment came only after Mary said yes to God's plan for her conceive a child. Come to think of it, 2000 years ago times were so different, society and culture was different, people were different, yet God was, is and will always be the same. And He has a plan and purpose for you and me in the salvation story, and we need to be accepting of His will no matter how difficult it may seem, for we don't do anything on our strength but thru Christ who strengthens us. Let us then be open to all that God desires of us, for through each one of us God will reach His people, just like He did through Jesus and Mary.
I pray that continuous and powerful intercession of Mama Mary Queen of Heaven and Earth beseech you with grace to say 'Yes' to the Father's calling of you in the salvation story participating with His Son Jesus Christ and be guided by His Holy Spirit. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
