Mary’s Yes
“Mary said, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Luke 1:38
And at that moment the Incarnation began. Mary did not hesitate.
In The Reed of God, Caryll Houselander describes that trust of Mary’s yes.
We too can have that trust which will free us of so many worldly concerns and distractions.
My goal
To stop hesitating. I find myself questioning, wondering, are you sure God, do you really mean me, Lord? I don’t want to change my plans or look foolish. Does my to-do list control my day or does God? When God asks, when I make a promise – I want to follow through, all the time. I want to stop hesitating.
This week, when you feel the prompting of God, do it. Don’t hesitate. And if you have made a decision to do something specific every day, do it. Don’t put it off. Honor your promise, made to yourself or others or God.
