Mary makes it seem so easy. The angel Gabriel tells her that she’ll give birth to the Son of God, and she responds with surrender to her role in God’s plan. She had no assurance of a comfortable outcome. A virgin engaged to be married, she likely knew how difficult giving birth to and raising Jesus would be. The only assurance Mary received was God’s Word, and it was enough for her to say “yes.”

Mary couldn’t possibly understand all that was on the other side of her response to God, but she trusted Him. As a result, God brought Jesus to the world through Mary, offering forgiveness for our sins and mending the brokenness in our relationship with God.

What challenging task has God placed on your heart? Whether it’s mending a broken relationship or stepping out in faith to walk in the purpose He’s given you, take heart in knowing that on the other side of your “yes” to God is an outcome greater than you can imagine.

We love you and theres nothing you can do about it🧡
