The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the one to be born will be called the Son of God.” “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her. Luke 1: 35 & 38
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you. How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Matthew 23: 37
Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26: 36-38 After we seek God’s creation in our lives, we next need to allow God to work in our lives. We allow God to work, which is different than doing the work ourselves. In a way, we would feel better if we did the work ourselves, but that is not how God does it. God wants to do good things for us. If we choose not to let God work in our lives, he won’t. Our work is to seek God’s grace. Then we allow God to work in our lives. God then creates something in our lives that we never could have done on our own.
