    In order for miracles to happen, there needs to be the key ingredient of BELIEF. What would have happened if Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds and Magi had not believed what the angel from God told them?

    Every now and then every person asks for a miracle in their life. Can you recall miracles you have asked God for? Isn’t it great that we have the ability to ask God for such a thing? A miracle is a visible interruption of the laws of nature, such that can only be explained by divine ...read more

    Mary is described in this passage as highly favored by God. But this favor didn’t result in an easy time. We need to understand God’s thoughts if we are not going to struggle in life.

    Everyone loves to receive gifts at Christmas time. And I am sure that as Christmas approaches we are wondering what lies behind those wrapped presents.

    Friends, God has given the perfect Christmas gift, and now it is our turn to give back to Him.

    Mary, A Believer

     | 2,392 views

    One might wonder why God would choose Mary out of all the women on earth. We cannot answer that with any degree of finality, but we can safely infer that God knew her heart, that she was a young woman of faith, who would agree with God against all odds.

    Gabriel, the deliverer of God’s important news, the heavenly postmaster, said, “Mary, rejoice, because you have found favor with God. God is with you, and you are blessed among women.” One might wonder why God would choose Mary out of all the women on earth. We cannot answer that with any degree ...read more

    This is partone in a series looking at some of the characters in the Christmas narrative and what they can teach us. Mary’s humble response to the Angel of the Lord is a powerful example of a young woman with the heart of a servant.
