Why did God choose Mary, an unwed youth, to be the Mother of His Child? Was it because she sought God’s purpose for her life? The young woman listened to God and obviously cared more about what God wanted than what people would say.
God did not force Mary to do anything against her will! She had faith – complete trust – in God’s Will, God’s goodness, and God’s Plan for her.
Mary agreed to God’s request, and, in due time, Jesus was born. The Son of Mary and Son of God came to earth as an Infant, Who grew into His purpose for our lives.
