When the angel Gabriel approached Mary about being the mother of the Messiah, her initial response was FEAR! But she will soon learn the truth that 'Perfect love casts out fear!' As one who has found favor with God, she experiences God's love. But how? First, Mary is overtaken by God's grace. Mary needed the grace of God just like everyone else, for she was a sinner in need of a Savior. But God graciously chose her to be the mother of the Messiah, God's Son, Jesus Christ. Secondly, Mary is overshadowed by God's presence and power. When asked how can this be, she is told that Holy Spirit will 'come upon her" and the power to the Highest will overshadow her. The Holy Spirit would control the process; the Father would protect the process and create the human body of the Son of God in Mary. And thirdly she experienced God's love by being overwhelmed with God's blessings! In her song, the Magnificat, Mary expresses her praise to God for His greatness and power. She was overwhelmed with God's blessings. We too are deeply loved by God! We too have been overtaken by God's Grace, overshadowed by God's presence and power, and overwhelmed with God's blessings. And we experience it all by faith! Trust Him! Receive the gift of God, the gift of love that is offered to us freely by His grace! NO need to fear in life, for you are LOVED!!
