Intombazane eyakhethwa uNkulunkulu ukuba izale iNdodana Yakhe yodwa yayifana nami nawe. Kuwo wonke umlando wayebonakala eyintombazane ejwayelekile, kodwa wamkhetha ngenjongo emangalisayo. Wayengayena owozalo lwasebukhosini futhi wayengakadumi, kodwa emehlweni kaNkulunkulu wayengeyenaojwayelekile. Wayeyazi inhliziyo yakhe. Okwakhe kwakuyinhliziyo evumayo, ephendukele  kuYe ngokugcwele. Lezi kwakuyizimfanelo ezithobekile ezahlukanisa uMariya ngomsebenzi omuhle kakhulu—umsebenzi wokuba umama weNdodana Yakhe. 

Ohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu olukhazimulayo-isu Ayelazi futhi ayelisungule ngaphambi kokukhuluma umhlaba ube khona-Wakhetha le ntombazane encane. Waphinde wakhetha isikhathi nendawo ethile emlandweni wonke ukuba azilethe kithi, u-Imanuweli. Wayengafika nganoma iyiphi indlela, ngisho egibele amafu enkazimulo njengoba Ezokwenza ngolunye usuku. Kunalokho, weza njengosana olungenakuzisiza, oluswele—engumuntu ngokuphelele, futhi uNkulunkulu ngokuphelele.  

Futhi uNkulunkulu wakhetha uMariya ukuthi abe ngumama.

Ukuba ngumama kuwubizo olujwayelekile, olunganambitheki lwabesifazane abaningi. Futhi nakuba umsebenzi walo mama wawumkhulu kakhulu kuBani ayemthwele, ukuphila kwakhe kwakungebalulekile kakhulu kuneyakho. 

UMariya wayeyisimangaliso, nawe ngokunjalo. Njengoba nje uNkulunkulu ekhethe umuntu okhethekile ukuba abe umama wendodana Yakhe, uNkulunkulu ngokukhethekile wakhetha wena ukuba umake abantwana bakho. Ukuphila kwakhe akuzenzakalelanga noma akubanga yingozi neyakho ngokunjalo. Singazibona futhi sifunde empilweni kaMariya yenjabulo nobuhlungu benhliziyo, ukuhleka nokulangazelela, ukholo nokwesaba. Wayengumama, njengami nawe. 

Ngaphambi kokuqala kwesikhathi uNkulunkulu wabeka umkhondo wempilo yakho. Bonke abeza ngaphambi kwakho—ifa lakho nemvelaphi yakho—kayalwe ukuba kube kulesi sikhathi nasendaweni ethile emlandweni. Wayazi ukuthi lesi kwakuyisikhundla esihle kakhulu ngesikhathi kanye nendawo ephelele emhlabeni ukuze umazi Yena nempilo yakho ibonise inkazimulo nobuhle Bakhe, ikakhulukazi ezimpilweni zabantwana bakho.
