Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Luke 1:30

An angel appeared to Mary and announced that she found in favor of God and selected to become pregnant with Jesus. Can you imagine what Mary thought about this news? God's son would be brought into the world through her body. The joy of this calling was overshadowed by the fear of what others thought because she was still a Virgin. In those days, pregnancy before marriage wasn't well received. Yet, God had a plan and He was doing something awesome in her life. 

As believers in Jesus Christ, He has plans for each of us. Through Jesus sacrifice, He has found favor in us and has specific plans to serve Him through our obedience and enacting out His will for our lives. We are blessed because of our Savior has called us Children of God.  

What has God called you to do for Him? His will for your life may not "fit" in by worldly standards, but His plan, His will for your life is just as important as Mary's mission to carry and birth Jesus Christ. Nothing God calls us to do is insignificant. It has a purpose and He expects you to follow through with those plans.....leave the public criticism up to Him. It doesn't matter what others think....only God. Serve Him in your calling....He will bless you abundantly. God bless.
