Tender Surrender
Mary had been overwhelmed by the appearance of an angel. Her
heart must have been pounding in her chest; she could probably hear it in her
ears. She was probably filled with awe and wonder and some understandable
fears. Would anyone believe her? Would Joseph stand by her side? Who was she to
raise the Son of the Most- High? Would the Spirit that overcame her abide?
As the thoughts raced through her mind,
Mary became determined. She had faith in Jehovah God and would submit to all He
asked of her. She referred to herself as His servant, His handmaiden, His
slave. In humility, she surrendered to God’s will for her rather than running
away.
As we trust Jesus as our Savior, He may
call us to unusual tasks. Surrender in humility to Him. Do whatever He asks. You
may feel trepidations pounding in your chest, but His Spirit empowers you; for
your Father always knows best.
