As I was meditating on God’s word today, my mind drifted to a movie called ‘The Holy Family’ which I watched recently. I remembered thinking as I looked at Mary, innocent, young, carefree, and pure - I would have never been chosen to be the mother of God’s son because I was just not a ‘Mary’. God, the righteous, omnipotent, holy one would not have looked on me as someone worthy to carry Jesus in her body.
Then I heard the still, small voice of the Holy Spirit whispering in my heart, ‘but He has chosen you my child, you have Jesus in your heart right now. Jesus is in you. Jesus is with you. You are chosen to carry his Son.’
I thank my heavenly Father for showing me the truth from his word. Even in the midst of lies and distortions from the evil one, God’s truth still echoes today. He delights in me.
The Treasure of Mary
Shepherds echoing the Angels’ song;
Rejoiced to tell the story;
Marveled at the newborn king;
And this became a treasure of Mary.
The law demands an offering;
Presenting the firstborn son to God;
At the temple, Simeon and Anna honored the Baby;
And this became a treasure of Mary.
Wise men came from far away,
Followed the guiding star;
Presented worthy gifts to Him;
And this became a treasure of Mary.
Jesus grew in favor with God;
Was held in high esteem by man;
From Bethlehem to Calvary’s cross, no longer a Baby;
Yet still remained -The treasure of Mary.
Why are we here; why do you die?
A mother’s heart cried out in agony;
The Savior of the world closed his eyes,
No longer only the treasure of Mary.
And now dear friends as we look back,
And gaze upon the cross of Christ,
Have you made him the treasure of your heart?
Is he the treasure of our lives?
