Christmas blessings

Last night, Joanne spoke from Luke. When Mary found out she was going to give birth. Can you imagine back in those days? Finding out that you were going to give birth, and you were an unmarried virgin? Would you respond as Mary did? 'I am your faithful servant, do with me as you will.' So, maybe it's not word for word, but you get the idea. Would you give up your will for the Will of God? How many times have you made a decision because it was what you wanted and not necessarily God's Will? How many times has selfishness gotten in the way of His plans for your life? I couldn't even count the times. But how lucky are we that Jesus chose His Father's Will? Where would we be?




The question is this: who are we letting down by not doing God's Will? Who will miss out on the kingdom because of our laziness? Or our selfishness? What if Jesus would've said no?



If we could just remember that His Will is the BEST for us, we would be more than willing. Even through the pain and trials, He is with us, teaching us every step of the way and the good times are always extra good because we know that He has given them to us as a special gift.
