Mary Answered

"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered."May it be to me as you have said." Luke 1:38

I believe. But I don't always listen, nor answer. What a wonderful life I could have if I would listen more often. How much better would the world be if I answered? What would it be like if I acted as Mary did?
I believe that if Mary had not stopped to listen, or if she had heard but not accepted, the Creator would have gone to another. But, she did accept the angel's words and became our Lord's mother. What an amazing woman, what a glorious servant.
Would I learn to stop, listen, accept and act as Mary. May it be to me as You say, not as I want.
