“Be it unto me according to your word” (Luke 1:38),
The gospel of Luke 1:38 ,focuses on themes of humble submission to God’s will, radical availability, faith in the face of the impossible, and the transformative power of saying “yes” to God, encouraging believers to surrender their own plans, embrace God’s calling, and become spiritual bearers of Christ, just as Mary did, allowing God to work through her life for His purposes, despite potential hardships.
Mary’s response is one of complete surrender, making herself available for God’s plan, even without fully understanding the consequences. She trusted God’s word over her own understanding or comfort, accepting the immense privilege and sacrifice.
Which area of your life are you finding difficult to completely surrender to God?
May the Lord be your guide and strength.
Every blessing,
