…“Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. ~ Luke 1:28-29
We have moved into our new home just in time to decorate and share our first Christmas in Lake, Michigan!
It is New Years Eve… we have family staying with us for the holiday!
BUT... will you sit with me for a minute as I share some thoughts?
… I just felt like I needed to share this with you!
This year, 2020, has been what none of us would have or could have expected! Can I get an AMEN!
I was listening to a message with the above verse being used and here is what was spoken to my heart to share with you…
If you are a child of God then this is for you! No matter what the past year has brought you… good or bad… you are favored, the Lord is with you!
Don’t let your circumstances trouble you!
Don’t try to figure it out!
Do NOT be afraid!
You have found favor with the Lord!
Yes… this is the same message the Angel Gabrielle spoke to Mary, the Mother of Jesus!
BUT… it still is a message for you and for me today!
Mary was given this message as she was getting ready to bring Jesus, the Messiah, into the world!
This message is for you because you have Jesus in you, and you are called to bring Jesus to the world!
2020… 2021… 2022… the year on the calendar makes no difference of Jesus in you, the Hope of Glory!
May 2021 be a blessed year! Happy New Year!
In His Grace,
Carin
