LIKE MARY
Today's reading: Luke 1-2

"Mary responded...For he, the Mighty One, is holy, and he has done great things for me." Luke 1:46, 49 NLT

I don't know if I've ever truly been able to relate myself to Mary, the mother of Jesus.

I could not have taken on the task she gladly accepted.

I could not have watched what she was called upon to watch.

I could not have trusted God enough to endure all she saw her son live through.

I don't know if I could have continued on after the crucifixion.

I don't know how I would have contained my emotions after the resurrection.

But what she has said in her response to Elizabeth, I get.

I truly get what she is saying.

I've not been chosen for the job/life/story she was chosen for, but I agree with her wholeheartedly that the Mighty One has done great things!
