Chosen to Be a Miracle!ಮಾದರಿ
Signs and miracles.
Here is Mary’s story…
If I had to say one word to describe how I feel, it would be the word "blessed."
Ever since the angel announced to me that I had found grace to give birth to the Son of God, I couldn't contain my joy that I was able to serve the Lord in His perfect plan of salvation. I still remember the song that burst forth from my lips when I met my cousin Elizabeth:
"...'My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; for behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.'" (Luke 1:46-49, NKJV)
Even though things weren't easy, it was always so precious to be with Jesus and see Him grow up! There were very special things about Him, even as a little boy...like the time He stayed in the Temple in Jerusalem for a whole day, talking to the teachers of the Law. The teachers were so amazed at the wisdom He demonstrated at such a young age!
But what has always touched me most is His heart. Even as the Messiah, the long-awaited Savior, Jesus has always been focused on blessing as many people as possible. I have seen Him heal, comfort, deliver, and bless thousands of people and perform amazing miracles, like the time He turned water into wine at the wedding in Cana.
What a special occasion the wedding was! Jesus had not yet officially begun His ministry, but when I told Him they were out of wine, He helped this dear family by performing a miracle that impacted many.
It's true that He's older now and doesn't need me like He did when He was little. But even so, He always lets me know how much He loves me, and I feel so blessed every time I'm able to serve Him somehow.
My name is Mary, and I have been chosen by God.
Bible references: Luke 1:46-49, Luke 1:26-38
