Read

So the angel told her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. His kingdom will never end!”

Luke 1:30-33 (BSB)

Think

The angel Gabriel came to Mary, a young woman in the small town of Nazareth. He told her she would have a son and name Him Jesus, and His kingdom would never end. Mary said yes to God.

Talk about it

How do you think Mary felt when she heard the angel?

Pray

God, help me say yes to You, like Mary did.
