Keeping Your Heart

What do you suppose filled Mary's thoughts during her journey to Bethlehem? Did she think back on the moment she first heard she would carry the Son of God?  Did she replay the angel's unexpected words over and over in her mind?  At first Mary was troubled by the words...and then we see her sweet surrender as Luke 1:38 tells us, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to Thy will."  What a beautiful picture of trust.  May your heart be surrendered to the Lord as Mary's was this Christmas season.

I just heard a beautiful song by a friend of mine about Mary's joyful response to the Lord! https://rainforroots.bandcamp.com/track/magnificat
