Gospel Reflections #325: God will surely guide His children

Luke 1:30,31 "And the angel said. Mary, do not be afraid. You have received grace from God. You will conceive and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus."

How do we react when an angel directly tells us that such a supernatural event is about to take place?

We would probably think, "Why me?" and we would immediately think of defending ourselves against the reactions of our fiancé and others around us.

We can believe that God is responsible for all things concerning the matter because the angel said so.

We cannot do it, God will guide us and give us wisdom and strength so that we can do it.

Just as the angel also said to Mary, "Do not be afraid," God is the first to tell us not to be afraid.

We are put in front of what seems to be an impossible task by God, not to look to the event itself, but to God, and God will give us the wisdom, strength, and courage we need.

Not because Mary had great faith, but because she knew who God was and that He was worthy of her entrusting Him.

Mary's small faith led to a great choice through the Holy Spirit.

In our mundane daily lives, our small faith, like Mary's, can lead to a great work of the Holy Spirit, and we can be used as God's collaborators.

God will give us everything we need to become a big tree when we offer Him our mustard seed of faith.
