When God devised a plan to save humanity from the consequences of our sins, He decided to cause the very fullness of the Godhead to become flesh and to dwell among us. God chose a young girl from Nazareth to be the vessel through whom Jesus came into the world.
God could have chosen any one person to comply with His needs for the purpose of so great a salvation. However, He sent an angel to explain the need and the plan to Mary. That sweet, God-loving girl answered that she was the maid servant of the Lord and that she was willing for it to be according to His word. So, with her willing compliance, she became the mother of Jesus. Her willingness to obey God gave her both joy and pain; joy in her special relationship with Jesus and pain as she watched Him die.
Lord, I want to consider Your demands upon my life. I am willing to be used of You and all that I am to You.
