Say Yes!

 

Today is the Solemnity of the

Immaculate Conception of the

Blessed Virgin Mary.

She who responded to the most

fantastic prophecy ever given to a woman,

“Do not be afraid, Mary, 

for you have found favour with God. 

 And behold, 

you will conceive in your womb 

and bear a son,

 and you shall call His name Jesus.

He will be great, 

and will be called the Son of the Most High; 

and the Lord God will give to Him 

the throne of His father David, 

 and He will reign over 

the house of Jacob for ever; 

and of His Kingdom there will be no end.”

with a YES!

 

"Let it be done to me

according to Your Word."   Luke 1:38

Obedience. Submission.

I've always believed that obedience

is the key to blessing.

"As Mary did, so can we do.

In each yes or no we choose,

we can bring forth grace

into our lives and the lives of those around us,

or we can allow sin to damage us."

from The Word Among Us

 

When we obey, when we say,

"Thy will be done, let it be done according to your will,"

God can show us favor.

He is waiting to show us favor! Isaiah 30:18

Truly there are choices we must make.

Just like Mary and the saints

and every person we know!

 

"Every tree that does not bear good fruit

will be cut down and thrown into the fire."

Matthew 3:10

Jesus is the original good tree.

We have to be grafted on to Him

so that we will bear good fruit.

We can't do it on our own!

 

 Do we want to bear good fruit?

Then let us be obedient like Mary,

and say yes to what God wants of us!

Every week I choose one wonderful visitor

who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

I know it takes so much time and effort

to leave a comment

and I appreciate it soooo much!

This week,

Random.org chose

 #7, Jen Price.

I like joining her IN THE STUDIO

party each week.

And I enjoy seeing what

she's up to!
