Remember Mary?
The above is a drawing I did of the Madonna & Child.
Matthew Chapter 1 Verse 18
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about:
His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph
but
before they came together,
she was found to be with child
through The Holy Spirit.

Mary must have been a beautiful young woman spiritually to be so obedient to God saying YES to what He asked of her. How many of us can truly say that we are obedient to submit ourselves to the ways of The LORD? Dear LORD God I pray today that I may be more obedient to your voice and not to my own wants. In being obedient to you I know that you will be blessing me even more than I can ever imagine. Thank you for Mary the Mother of my Saviour – Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

Oil Painting of Jesus as (The Good Shepherd)
Well – do we remember about Mary the Mother of Jesus – what has been written in the Holy Bible? She must have been a remarkable young woman. Maybe only around sixteen years of age. I don’t think she would have been out drinking and doing drugs like some young people (and older ones) are doing now in this world that we live in.
If we could put ourselves in Mary’s shoes – whatever would we think, how would we cope with our everyday living knowing as she did that God had planted His one and only Son into her womb? Also she was engaged to be married, imagine telling her husband to be what had happened to her.
It could not have been easy for her.
If you are a man reading this your thoughts may have been the same as Joseph who she was engaged to – until of course the Angel told him what had happened.
So you see there is quite a lot to consider when we think of Mary – the Mother of our Lord Jesus who is my Saviour and I pray that He is yours too.
As it is now getting near to Christmas I believed this would give us food for thought.
* God Bless You over this Christmas Time *
