Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
~Romans 8:26
Mary asked the angel, "How can this be, since I have no been intimate with a man?"
~ Luke 1:34
I wonder if Mary knew when He arrived in her womb. Brothers in the faith might be appalled that I would ask such a question, female minds were created to think intimate, personal thoughts like these!
I have at least a hundred questions to ask Mary in heaven. And no doubt Mary will have some interesting stories to tell. Part of the fun of heaven will be hearing this spiritual giants tell the details of the old, old stories.
Mary certainly wouldn't have thought of herself as a spiritual giant, would she?
Could a teenager have found them that she was to give birth to the Son who was the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being?
Oh yes, the news was good. The best. But the news was also hard. When the winds of heaven converge with the winds of earth, lightning is bound to strike. Seems to me that Gabriel left just in time for Mary to tell her mother. And I have a feeling Nazareth was about to hear an experience a little thunder!
For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.
~John 16:27
