Mary’s Surprising Yes

When the angel told Mary that she would give birth to the Savior, it must have been overwhelming and even frightening. She was young and didn’t have all the answers, yet she responded with a willing heart and said "yes" to God’s plan. Despite the unknowns and the challenges she would face, Mary chose to trust God completely. Her humble obedience shows us what it looks like to have faith that goes beyond understanding. Mary didn’t need to know every detail—she just needed to know that God was with her. Her "yes" opened the door for a miracle that would change history and bring hope to the world. Mary’s story reminds us that when we trust God with a willing heart, He can do amazing things through us, even in ways we never expected.
