Like a little child.

Like a little child.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Luke 1.38
Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

God can do so many outstanding things in your life if you just respond like Mary did. God is looking for people who will boldly accept the word of God and not question or doubt it even when it doesn't make any sense.

Faith pleases God because it gives Him permission to do something in your life. This is Love. Hebrew talks about how Israel heard the word preached to them but it did not profit them because it was not mixed with faith. God spoke to Mary through the angel and said that she will have a son. It was very difficult for her to digest it because she wasn't married and no man had ever slept with her. But she boldly received the word because she knew, for God all things are possible and His word never fails. She didnt understand it but she believed it. Thats all God wanted. We don't have to know all the details and have all the answers. We just have to trust and know that what God has promised He is fully able to perform irrespective of how impossible it looks. You don't have to understand it, you have to believe it. You don't have to feel it, you have to believe it. You don't have to see it, you have to believe it. You don't have to pay for it, you only have to believe it.

Like little children, lets believe and recieve everything our Father God has promised and enjoy his great love for us. Abraham received a son when He was 100 yrs old. Jesus and Peter walked on water. Five loaves and two fishes were multiplied to feed more than five thousand people. All these outstanding miracles happended because there was always someone who said, 'Let it be according to your word'.

"Lord Jesus, I believe and recieve your word. I believe that what you have promised, you are well able to perform. I refuse to doubt even though I don't understand it. Like a child, I trust you and I thank you for your love. Amen"
