SAY YES IN 2016
Yes. Such a simple word. Just three little letters.
Yes. A simple word that can change everything.
I have always been so in awe of Mary’s “yes.” By her humble obedience to trust in what God was asking. What faithfulness. And this wasn’t just some simple request. This wasn’t just some small favor. He was asking for her complete trust. He was asking for her all.
She said yes to the call God had for her life. She embraced His plan and said yes to be part of God’s mission on earth.
I don’t know . . . if I were in her sandals, I probably would have been like, “What? Umm, just a minute here. I have a lot of questions!”
Her beautiful and humble response . . let it be.
And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” {Luke 1:38}
Wow. That is just so inspiring and encouraging to me. I want to respond to His call with the same willingness that Mary had!
It can be too easy to to come up with excuses or brush things off as being unimportant. But God can do anything with anyone who is willing. He is our strength.
We need to remember the truth is that even one person can change history with one yes.
God is at work right now. His plan in our lives is happening right this very moment. We are part of God’s mission here on earth. We just need to be open to God and put our trust in Him.
Say yes everyday.
We need to let God work in us. Let God work through us. Let Him use us as He needs. No questioning all the details. We don’t need to understand everything. We don’t need to see what He is doing with our lives to know we are part of His plan. No list of excuses. No doubting. No thinking we aren’t important enough to make a difference.
Yes. Yes to His call. Yes the whole way through.
Yes with our weaknesses and flaws. Yes with all the bumps and frustrations that might come along. Yes. Let it be.
Will you say yes to His call? Will you say it again and again?
