In Luke 1:30-31, we learn of Mary being told that she would become the mother of Jesus! What an honor! Now, God’s favor to Mary was met with much pain for her, at first.  Her friends were cruel  and made comments about her in a harsh way.  Her fiancé Joseph came close to leaving her, her parents were disgraced by her.   Also, when she had her son, Jesus, he was rejected by society and murdered!   However, through Jesus would come the WORLD’S only hope for redemption and salvation.  If sorrow weighs you down today and dims your hope, know this–GOD IS WORKING OUT HIS PLAN!  You must believe it!
