I am willing to accept whatever he wants.
—Luke 1:38
Mary was preparing for her marriage. She intended to make her nest in Nazareth and live out her life there among family and friends.
Then came the knock at her door. “You will be with child and give birth to a son,” said the visitor.
“How can I have a baby? I am a virgin.”
The visitor said this would be God’s doing—the baby born to her would be called the Son of God.
An understandable response would have been, “No thanks, count me out.” Instead, Mary said, “I am willing to accept whatever he wants. May everything you have said come true.”
Occasionally, we encounter people like Mary—people who are ready to go wherever God wants them to go and do whatever he wants them to do.
Be one of those people.
Say “Yes” to whatever God asks of you.
