Building While Healing

Gift #9 is Anticipation
Luke 1:38 says, “And Mary said, “I am the Lord's servant! Let it happen as you have said.” And the angel left her.” CEVDCI‬‬

Remember as a kid how excited you were to open your gifts. You didn't even know what you were getting, however, you were already over the moon. It felt like Christmas day would never come. You were dotting your I's and crossing ALL of your T's. You were in a state of anticipation.

On yesterday, we discovered from the angel Gabriel that favor ain't fair. Mary was reminded that her cousin Elizabeth was soon to deliver at an old age. After getting such a response, I can imagine Mary began to think about the possibility of her future situation. Her response to Gabriel speaks volumes. Even though she didn't really know what to expect, she anticipated what was to come. The pure joy in knowing that something big is going to happen, the preparation, the waiting is all apart of the great gift!

Mary's response shows us humility, promptness and faith. Quite honestly, so did you as a child. Let's remember this gift of faith during this and any season of anticipation.
