For the last couple of days, I have been listening to this song. Its one of my favorite Christmas songs but it wasn’t until the other day I realized that I understand.
Mary was having a child out of wedlock. That would have been all anyone would have seen about her, she also would have been around the age of 15.
I know all of those feels, 17, pregnant, unwed. It’s always so many emotions.
After listening to this song I know how Mary felt when Gabriel appeared to her. We would have had all of the same emotions. From terrified of the future to knowing it was God’s plan.
She would have had the same fears, not knowing if everything would be ok, she most likely didn’t know what she was suppose to do. A mother’s instinct is to keep your baby healthy. I get the not knowing, I get the fear, I even get the incredible joy she felt at first sight.
Also in the song, it asks “Did you know?” There is no possible way mary could have to know all the amazing things that Jesus was going to do, even when thinking with “Mother’s Vision” You can dream big for your children but no way she could have guessed what his life would do for the world.
How many times have we all had those thoughts and then what happens is so much different than we ever thought?
More times than I can count that’s for sure.
Luke 1:26-38 is the story of Mary and Gabriel if you want to give it a read.
So this holiday season I want to encourage you to really listen to this song, I will leave a link for you and also remember that One Unplanned pregnancy saved us all
