We too can be like Mary

Mary, Christ’s mother, amazes me. She reminds me that I am a daughter of God and I have a divine mission too. She has so many amazing virtues and is such an example.

When the angel visited Mary she didn’t know the details. She trusted. She had COMPLETE submission to the will of God. How beautiful her role was. As it says in the scriptures:

Luke 1:38 “And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her”.

Mary was chosen to be His mother. She did not have wealth, but that wasn’t important.


Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

“We stand in awe at Mary’s assignment to be the mother of the Lord, but we, too, have been called to mother gods. October 1980, “Motherhood and The Family”, Mary F. Foulger

What an amazing quote from Mary F. Foulger. We all have a divine birthright! We too are seen as daughters of God. We are loved. We are watched out for.

“Your lineage is a blood relationship. That makes you literally “children of the prophets” with a noble birthright (3 Nephi 20:25). That is why we often say that you are “youth of the noble birthright” and belong to a royal, “chosen generation” (1 Peter 2:9).”

During this Christmas week I hope that we can slow down and remember Mary’s sacrifice by giving birth to our Savior. I love her and am so glad one day I can meet her and thank her. I hope we can all remember where we came from and that God always has a beautiful plan for us, always. No matter where you have been.

Much love and a very Merry Christmas,

Rachel
