AND SHE SAID "YES"

No other proposal story can top this. 

This has to be the best until the end of time. Mary knew the consequences but she still said YES. She said YES because she had FAITH.

• F -ound FAVOR. Luke 1:30 says 'the angel said to her, "you have found favor with God." When God picks you then you are able to conquer fear because God is love. And "perfect love casts out fear." (1 John 4:18)
• A -ccepting means she will bear Jesus in her womb. Luke 1:31 says "you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus." What an honor indeed!
• I -nfinity & beyond. Mary's YES will allow God to reign forever. Verse 33 states "he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end." I don't like overstaying leaders. But if it's God who leads I don't mind. I won't care because God cares for us forever.
• T -here is nothing impossible with God . As verse 37 goes "with God nothing will be impossible." Are you carrying an impossible problem now? Say YES to God to make the solution a reality.
• H -andmaid of the Lord. "And Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word."(Luke 1:38). God made us for a purpose. We cannot fully appreciate life if we don't accept our role in God's plan. The angel Gabriel's role was to share the news to Mary. After completing that mission "the angel departed from her." (Luke 1:38) because Gabriel's mission was complete.

All you need is FAITH. 

Is God asking you to do something? Say YES to Him & bless the world. Have an awesome & blessed week!! - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
