"Mary's Response"

"Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!" Luke 1:28

Believers all over the world are reading, hearing, speaking, or thinking about these words as we celebrate the birth of our Savior today. As I was praying about what to share on this special day this is where He led me. I hope He blesses you as much as He blessed me.

I'm going to title this message, "Mary's Response" because that is what He would like us to take a look at today. God sent the angel Gabriel to Mary. He called her, 'highly favored one' in his greeting and a little later in the conversation, in order to calm her fears, He also reassured her by telling her that she had found favor with God. He then proceeded to fill her in on 'the plan' that she would be bringing Jesus into the world. He then took time to speak to her doubts, answer her questions, and give her some confirmation type news that ended with, "For with God nothing will be impossible."

Next, Mary's Response: "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." Luke 1:38

His message for you today is; "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you! You have found favor with Him! You too have been chosen to bring Jesus to your generation!"

He has called you! Will you have a response like Mary's? Will you bless Him today and say, "Yes, Lord, I'm all in. Use Me." "Will you let His plan for your life unfold as you trust His words to you today?"

"For with God NOTHING will be impossible!"
