"Then Mary said, 'Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.' And the angel departed from her." - Luke 1:38

This verse is so simple, but the meaning behind these words has changed the course of human history. By Mary's humble acceptance of God's amazing plan for her life, the Word of God became flesh and became a man for our salvation. If she hadn't been so willing to be completely consumed by God and His will for her life, we would not have salvation. Not only that, but we wouldn't know Jesus Christ, our Lord, our guide, and our God. If one simple yes could bring about such an incredible impact, just think about the impact that could result if each and every one of us said yes to God and allowed His will and love for us to consume our lives. This week, I challenge you to surrender to the Lord. Put aside your plan and truly empty yourself before Him, so that on Christmas morning there is a proper place for the King of kings to be born anew in your heart. Let His will be done. 

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas. :) Be filled with the joy of the season. God bless.
