Week 34 - The Journey
"Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her. Mary Visits Elizabeth." Luke 1:38
The mystery of God, can we touch it? Yes and whether you know it or not you probably already have without knowing it. Mary, the holy of Holies as the ark that carries Jesus into the world touched the mystery from a very very young age. She understood that her life revolved around God much like the earth and the sun, He was the center of her life from the beginning.
The farther that we move away from the center of our universe the colder it gets and our hearts were made for Him. Those moments of despair and tremendous pain because of choices that didn't involve God is part of the mystery. You touched the mystery and didn't even know it. We don't associate pain with God but in reality it is the pain that draws us back to Him, back into the center and into right relationship.
Mary's relationship was right from the beginning because she knew life is in the word of God and death is outside the word of God. Be it done unto me according to thy word. Read His word and see what happens when the Israelites walk away from truth. Our own lives will be done according to His word, Mary once again points to truth from a very ripe old age of 13-14. Have a blessed day living with the Son at the center.
What is God saying to me? Nothing happens by chance there is purpose in everything even in the pain.
Dear Father, there is peace with You at the center even though things are moving quickly. I thank You for those periods of my life that I didn't understand why which prepared me for a greater future with You. Like Mary, may it be done to me according to thy word. Prayers for a family experiencing the loss of a child, and give strength to this family. Bless this day Father, give us the words when needed at the proper time. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
Joesph, Most Obedient, Pray for us.
